There's nothing good within me
If I’m honest
And if I am honest
There are times I will try

To dress up all my darkness
And make it seem like it was light all along
But it's a lie

If truth be told I'm nothing on my own
The only thing I know for sure
Is that I don’t know a thing
To be sure

And if you only knew
What I've been prone to do
You'd run far and fast away from me
Oh God

Hear my plea
'Cause all I see
Is this darkness that is buried
Within me

So darlin' don't dare trust me
If I say that I'm okay
If truth be told I do the things that I hate
Oh every day anyway
So if ever I may think
Myself to be more than a wretched man
Forgive me please don't let me
Ruin myself once again
With these chains that I cannot sever
I’ll do whatever it takes
Just to make sure my head stays above
This water that is filling my lungs

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

If only I could do the good I want to do
I’d leave this place forever
And I would never
Turn back around
Just to fight this old war
'Cause I’m broken and I'm begging for
Something more
