I know we sacrificed I nearly lost my life Abiding sadness enduring madness This is sickness needing forgiveness I break the cycle of heartache I cannot take I went astray entangled in the fray I lost my way in your retribution But give me absolution Don't hate me forever You won't consume me You never knew me There is no way I'll let you break me down into pieces I'm not defeated won't be mistreated Don't be conceited that you were never needed I know what I've done I never tried to run The burden's not mine alone and I'm not made of stone Up until now I've worn this pain like a shroud Your pain is mine and I think it's time That I face this loss and let go this cross I've had to bare I no longer care And I'm not scared of anyone or anything even you There's nothing I can do There's nothing left to prove I've nothing left to lose
