I came along
When things went wrong
Never knew
The answer to
The greater question within,
For all this sin
Can I be forgiven?
But I hold on…
I cave in…
I gave out.
All this wishing
Wishful thinking
I saw the ocean break
Carry all those dream away
On her waves
– what can I say?
How can you forgive me?
There is no cross I bare
All the shame hidden there.
For all the ones who know me
To see in my tears.
To hold my fears against me now
When I’m down
and begging…
When I haven’t the strength
To hold on…
I cave in…
I give out…
All this wishing
Wishful thinking
And I’ll pretend
To be thick skinned
Until I’m forgiven
