[Verse 1]
Blood and dust
Sweat and smoke
I hold my tongue until I choke
Bring myself to pay for these stones that feel, the hurt we feel
What's a man without a soul waiting for life?

[Verse 2]
Cut me down
And watch me bleed
I made you king, so shame on me
Unbroken ground, sacrificed
The lost to found, Fools' Paradise
But I'm a man who needs to hope
You can't make me hype

[Chorus]
I won't let myself be forgiven
I won't say that I've done wrong
You say I'm stuck in my ways, but out of my mind
Did what I did cause I had to survive
I won't let myself be forgiven
I don't need to justify

[Verse 3]
If it's too much for you to take
Then save yourself and walk away
Cause we can't stand on shaken stone
Head to head, two hearts alone
We've got nothing else to hold
But it don't make it right
[Chorus]
I won't let myself be forgiven
I won't say that I've done wrong
You say I'm stuck in my ways, but out of my mind
Did what I did cause I had to survive
I won't let myself be forgiven
I don't need to justify

[Bridge]
That's no me
I can't deny, baby, you to save me
What if I need, just to fall?

[Outro]
I won't let myself be forgiven
I won't say that I've done wrong
I've been stuck in my ways, but out of my mind
Did what I did cause I had to survive
I won't let myself be forgiven
I don't need to justify
