Tears of Regret

Oh God Where the hell am I This can’t be it I can’t be dead I haven’t even started to live These thoughts are So full of regret Never shaking the hell At the end of a cigarette Again I find myself on my knees Ashamed and naked Begging you please I’m left with nothing to give If only I knew how to truly live Sin had always got the best of me The light I could never see Woe is me Good is what I’ll never be You’re never really dead and gone You’re just left to sing the saddest songs The wealth and the fame Is all just the sickest game Such a tempting kiss Leaving you in the Devil’s bliss Again I find myself on my knees Ashamed and naked Begging you please I’m left with nothing to give If only I knew how to truly live Sin had always got the best of me The light I could never see I stare to the heavens From the bottom of the stair well Hell’s reminding me Of how far I’ve fell I scream and I cry As I realized I’ve died I can’t look above To the eyes of God This damning sin is just too great Making me realize salvation’s too late This body burns As I’ve realized what I’ve learned Again I find myself on my knees Ashamed and naked Begging you please I’m left with nothing to give If only I knew how to truly live Sin had always got the best of me The light I could never see If I could do it all again You can bet I’d praise God till the end Cause He is the meaning of life He’s worth every fight I’d scream for the world to hear God will heal every tear Cause no money or fame No drug or lust Will heal you from what you’ve lost Everyone carries a broken heart God can be your brand new start Oh God Where the hell am I This can’t be it I can’t be dead I haven’t even started to live
