[Verse 1]
I came in all torn up
Mud on my best white dress
Hands shook at the doorway
Couldn’t hide this mess
I said your name low
Like it might still hear me
I been running from the truth
Now the truth found me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I did
I know what I lost
I been counting my shadows
At too high a cost
If mercy is near
Then let it find me
I’m down on my knees
And I need it badly
[Chorus]
Forgive me, my Father
I’m coming back home
Forgive me, my Father
I can’t do this alone
Wash me clean
Take this heavy heart
Forgive me, my Father
Meet me in the dark
[Forgive me]
[Verse 2]
I wore my pride like gold
Till it cut my skin
Smiled through the damage
Said I was fine within
But every night got louder
When I shut that door
Now I’m standing in the ashes
Wanting something more
[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I did
I know what I lost
I been counting my shadows
At too high a cost
If mercy is near
Then let it find me
I’m down on my knees
And I need it badly
[Chorus]
Forgive me, my Father
I’m coming back home
Forgive me, my Father
I can’t do this alone
Wash me clean
Take this heavy heart
Forgive me, my Father
Meet me in the dark
[Bridge]
I don’t need the gold
I don’t need the crown
Just a open hand
When I hit the ground
If you still see me
Through the smoke and flame
Say my broken name
And I’ll rise again
[Final Chorus]
Forgive me, my Father
I’m coming back home
Forgive me, my Father
I can’t do this alone
Wash me clean
Take this heavy heart
Forgive me, my Father
Meet me in the dark
Forgive me, my Father
I’m yours from the start
Forgive me, my Father
Bring peace to my heart
