Forgive Me

(album: Parker Millsap - 2014)

I've got shadows in hiding
Way down inside me
Sometimes they work to the surface
In just the right lighting
You can see them beside me
Well I swear, I don't let 'em out on purpose

Excuse me from the table
It's just I'm not able
To swallow my throat song here tonight
Like something is broken
Don't mind my choking
On the words I should never have thought

Please forgive me
For the sinner I am
Treat me like a child
As I'm half a man
But please forgive me
I stepped on the line in the sand
Now I'm trying just as hard as I can

I've got darkness below me
I need you to show me
The way that I should behave
I been in my closet
I shut it and locked it
Let me out, give me my chain, I'll be your slave

I've got rooms full of questions
Quite a collection
But answers, I have only a few
Well, I could use your help
Clearing off these shelves
And maybe find just a little bit of truth

Please forgive me
For the sinner I am
Treat me like a child
As I'm half a man
But please forgive me
I stepped on the line in the sand
Now I'm trying just as hard as I can

Oh, I'm trying just as hard as I can
Lord, I'm trying just as hard as I can
