I've got shadows in hiding Way down inside me Sometimes they work to the surface In just the right lighting You can see them beside me Well I swear, I don't let 'em out on purpose
Excuse me from the table It's just I'm not able To swallow my throat song here tonight Like something is broken Don't mind my choking On the words I should never have thought
[Chorus] Please forgive me For the sinner I am Treat me like a child As I'm half a man But please forgive me I stepped on the line in the sand Now I'm trying just as hard as I can
I've got darkness below me I need you to show me The way that I should behave I been in my closet I shut it and locked it Let me out, give me my chain, I'll be your slave
I've got rooms full of questions Quite a collection But answers, I have only a few Well, I could use your help Clearing off these shelves And maybe find just a little bit of truth
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm trying just as hard as I can Lord, I'm trying just as hard as I can
