There have been times throughout my life when I fell so far

I thought I'd never stand again, I watched my dreams depart

These aberrations had their place in the grand design

But it's unnatural to feel so bitter and resigned

Forgive me my mistakes

I'm only human, I bleed just like you

From time to time, so why can't I convince you?

I'll be fine

Ignore the writing on the wall, it just decorates

A place that I have lived so long, delusions' vast estates

There's nothing sinister at all gnawing at my soul

But these confessions that I give help me feel in control

Forgive me my mistakes

I'm only human, I bleed just like you

From time to time, so why can't I convince you?

I'll be fine

No absolution comes for free, and it never will

And those among us without sin are even rarer still

If imperfection is the lens that you see me through

Don't be surprised if someday soon that lens stares back at you

Forgive me my mistakes

I'm only human, I bleed just like you

From time to time, so why can't I convince you?

I'll be fine

Forgive me my mistakes

I'm only human, I bleed just like you

From time to time, so why can't I convince you?

I'll be fine
