Don't pity my old ways

I made too many promises to ever let you leave

But there's things unforgiven you really should not see

If I wake up in the morning to fix all that I've done

Well I'll wake up mighty early to beat the rising sun

Your imagination's wild, and it really isn't fair

I was born into a world, that really did not care

You can hate, you can hurt me, please love me if you can

Oh this whole world is a better place when I'm a better man

Don't pity my old ways

These past years I've been digging my own grave

Keep me sober I need to feel the pain

Forgive me for the things I've done, I'll find a better way

I'm a lover but I fight it

I'm a dreamer but I hide it

Insecurity is home, it's comfortable to me

Please catch me if I stumble, I'm doing the best I can

My faith's not strong, I'm just a man, hope has let me down before

Don't pity my old ways

These past years I've been digging my own grave

Keep me sober I need to feel the pain

Forgive me for the things I've done, I'll find a better way

I'll leave a note, on the door when I go

To let you know, I was wrong and you told

Oh you told, oh you told me so

Don't pity my old ways

These past years I've been digging my own grave

Keep me sober I need to feel the pain

Forgive me for the things I've done, I'll find a better way

Forgive me for the things I've done, I'll find a better way

Forgive me for the things I've done, I'll find a better way
