Thinking back to where I've been, every woman, every sin
I just thought that I was having fun
Never meaning to be cruel, guess I was a careless fool
But now it's time to pay for what I've done
But everyone says, forgive yourself
My head becomes a prison cell
Any time I'm by myself
As I try to clear the guilt out of my mind
The bars won't bend
The chains won't break
As I relive all my mistakes
I may not be locked up, but I'm still doing time
The man that I was yesterday
Just won't seem to go away
Even though his deeds are long gone
The past it has a memory
That never wants to leave me be
And just reminds me where I went wrong
Even though I know better now
My head becomes a prison cell
Any time I'm by myself
As I try to clear the guilt out of my mind
The bars won't bend
The chains won't break
As I relive all my mistakes
I may not be locked up, still doing time
Doing time
No escape, so I'll just wait
Till the next life sets me free
My head becomes a prison cell
Any time I'm by myself
As I try to clear the guilt out of my mind
The bars won't bend
The chains won't break
As I relive all my mistakes
I may not be locked up, still doing time
Doing time
Still doing time
I may not be locked up, but I'm still doing time
