[Verse 1]
I been drinkin’ down guilt with a backroom grin
As love was walking out, I let lust walk in
Tangled in hotel beds and motel-stained sheets
With names I’ve forgotten, and others I regret to repeat
[Verse 2]
Played my hand like a gambler, like born in sin
I swore I’d change, shit, then I did it all again
I don’t really lie or cheat, I just bend what’s true
Till the hurt feels so sweet, and the guilt feels almost new
[Chorus]
So please save some forgiveness for me
A man chasing desire’s a man that can’t be free
My compass is cracked, darling, these hands are made for sin
And grace feels as far as it’s ever been
[Verse 3]
I gave ‘em my lines like a poet in pain
But that damn punchline always hits like midnight train
They held on tight while I slipped through the seams
Left them behind holding echoes and broken dreams
[Chorus]
So please save some forgiveness for me
A man chasing desire’s a man that can’t be free
My compass is cracked, darling, these hands are made for sin
And grace feels as far as it’s ever been
[Verse 4]
Now the mirror don’t lie like it used to do
It just shows a man split right in two
One wants heaven, the other’s a rebel thief
Both beg for mercy — depends on which one I feed
One’s dying to change, the other’s dying to bury me
[Bridge]
And maybe when the smoke clears out
I’ll lay out my sins on a solid vow
But till that day, I drift through shallow shame
Humming old songs in another stranger’s fame
[Final Chorus]
So please save some forgiveness for me
A man chasing desire’s a man that can’t be free
My compass is cracked, darling, these hands are made for sin
And grace feels as far as it’s ever been
[silent break]
So please save some forgiveness for me
[Outro jam]
