(Verse 1)
I see the way you pray at night, hands pressed tight,
Whisperin’ sins like they’ll wash outta sight.
You think mercy’s just a word, a clean slate to take,
But some scars don’t heal, some hearts don’t break.
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, you call on heaven, beg for grace,
Thinkin’ He’ll erase what can’t be replaced.
But I ain't no saint, I ain’t made of gold,
Some debts stay unpaid, some stories stay told.
(Chorus)
God forgives but I don’t,
You can beg, you can kneel, but it won’t change what you wrote.
You can run, you can hide, but the past still shows,
Ain’t no mercy in my eyes when the truth unfolds.
(Verse 2)
I gave you chances, more than you deserve,
But you cut me deep, left me cold on the curve.
Now you swear you’ve changed, but I see through the lies,
Redemption ain’t free, and I ain’t baptized.
(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, you call on heaven, beg for grace,
Thinkin’ He’ll erase what can’t be replaced.
But I ain't no saint, I ain’t made of gold,
Some debts stay unpaid, some stories stay told.
(Chorus – Full Power)
God forgives but I don’t,
You can beg, you can kneel, but it won’t change what you wrote.
You can run, you can hide, but the past still shows,
Ain’t no mercy in my eyes when the truth unfolds.
(Bridge – Dark & Gritty)
Ohhh, you wanna rewrite the past? (Ohhh no no!)
Say you’ve changed, but it won’t last (Won’t last!)
I’m no savior, I hold the key,
Judgment ain’t just for divinity. (Ohhh yeah!)
(Chorus – Big & Explosive)
God forgives but I don’t, (No, I don’t!)
I ain't preachin’ salvation, just takin’ what’s owed.
You can pray, you can plead, but you reap what you sow,
No light at the end when the fire still glows.
(Outro – Cold & Final)
Some people learn, some people burn,
Some bridges break, some never return.
You may find peace in the skies above,
But I don’t deal in mercy, I don’t deal in love.
