[Spoken Intro]
The story you're about to hear is true
Only the names have been changed, to protect the innocent

[Verse 1]
And it’s so hard to feel alive
When you've been sleepin' so long
The feelings came on too strong
So you let ’em go
You let 'em go

[Chorus]
And I keep messin' up
I keep messin' up
I keep runnin' away
I keep leavin'
I keep makin' mistakes over and over again

[Post-Chorus]
But you keep forgivin' me
You keep forgivin’ me
Over and over again
I don’t deserve it, I don't

[Verse 2]
And I have felt the same for so long
That’s why I forgot what it feels like to feel different
I don't have any talents, just floating along
Why do people still like me when
I'm dripping and cold
[Chorus]
And I keep messin' up
I keep messin’ up
I keep runnin' away
I keep leavin'
I keep makin' mistakes over and over again

[Post-Chorus]
But you keep forgivin' me
You keep forgivin' me
Over and over again
I don't deserve it, I don't

[Verse 3]
And you always said
Life's like a crash test
You don't know what's gonna happen until it hits

[Spoken Outro]
- "If someone does evil, if I have done evil, must I get evil back?"
- "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."
- "That's what you believe?"
- "Why, yes, I believe that."
