’ve made my confession Paid the price for my crime I make no concession I’ve served my time
Carrying this weight around Finally run to ground Can’t admit that I was wrong Have to live with what I’ve done
My guilt goes on My guilt goes on Into the future My guilt goes on
Drowning I washed The blood off my hands Now the future is calling And I need one more chance
Have to live with what I’ve done Through the years my guilt goes on How I’m judged by history Will make no difference to me
My guilt goes on My guilt goes on Into the future My guilt goes on
Will you forgive but not forget Ask me if I still regret Don’t feel any worse today Than I was feeling yesterday
Into the future into the future
Nothing left in my defence Can’t reclaim my innocence Cannot give you recompense No way I can make amends Can’t admit that I was wrong Years go by my guilt goes on Have to live with what I’ve done How long before my guilt has gone
My guilt goes on My guilt goes on Into the future My guilt goes on
I’ve made my confession Paid the price for my crime I make no concession I’ve served my time
Will you forgive but not forget Ask me if I still regret Don’t feel any worse today Than I was feeling yesterday
