[Verse 1]
How long will I wait? How long must I pay? I can't get past the things I've done and guilt I have. I've made mistakes that I can't take back. How long will these ghosts live? I can't, I can't, why can't I be forgiven?

[Chorus 1]
Please forgive me
Please forgive me
Please forgive me
Please forgive me

[Bridge 1]
I"ve tried to numb my mind and erase, but memories always stay. Can I ever be forgiven?

[Bridge 2]
I can't stay here in this place of shame and fear. I've got to think even I could be forgiven

[Chorus 2]
I want to be forgiven, will you please forgive me? I want to be forgiven, will you please forgive me?

[Outro]
I need to be forgiven. Will you please forgive me?
