I Confess, I Guess

The year I turned 10 I couldn't fall asleep

Too many big problems only I could fix

Like where do we go when we die?

What happens when the lights go out?

On Sundays I sang with a choir in the church

All I wanted to be was good

Convinced the statues of Jesus would fall down

Crush me for thinking bad thoughts

I had all of the shame

But none of the God

I confess, I guess

I'll name my sins to take the heat off

Name my sins so I can be absolved

I confess, I guess

I'll snitch on my own secrets

Whisper all my darkest thoughts

Then at the sleepover when I was fifteen

I told my giggling friends I'd wait 'till I got married

Virginity could keep me good

Keep me from getting too lost

I had all of the shame

But none of the God

I confess, I guess

I'll name my sins to take the heat off

Name my sins so I can be absolved

I confess, I guess

I'll snitch on my own secrets

Whisper all my darkest thoughts

I confess, I guess

I confess, I guess

I confess, I guess

I'll name my sins to take the heat off

Name my sins so I can be absolved

I confess, I guess

Oh I will snitch on my own secrets

Whisper all my darkest thoughts

I confess, I guess

I confess, I guess

I confess, I guess

I confess, I guess
