Verse 1
On the floor, cold and numb
Saw the white light through the haze
They said, "You're lucky, son"
But I was locked inside that maze
I remember it all
Stuck inside that room for days
Twenty nights, no sun
Just IV drips and faith
Pre-Chorus
(Goodbye)
To who I was before
(Goodbye)
Can't fake it anymore
🎶Chorus
Father, forgive me
I’ve been drowning in regret
Six years and still I
Ain’t found the end of it yet
The scars, they whisper
I fade when I shiver
I’m still so broken
Forgive me for what’s left
Verse 2
My friends came by to see
But I was somewhere far away
Couldn't walk, couldn’t breathe
Like the pain just came to stay
And I tried to smile
But the mirror told the truth
Just a hollow child
In an aging hospital room
Pre-Chorus
(Goodbye)
To days I used to know
(Goodbye)
Can't outrun that ghost
Chorus
Father, forgive me
I’m still haunted by that day
No home, just silence
And these nights I replay
The c***h, the sirens
The steel and the violence
I’m still not whole yet
Forgive me for my pain
Bridge
I hear those voices call
Like echoes through the hall
“Will you make it out alive?”
But I did, I survived
Now I walk but I limp
Talk but I flinch
Still I try to live
Through every inch
Final Chorus
Father, forgive me
I’m still learning how to live
I ain’t that victim
But I ain’t forgettin' it
The wound, the story
The fear, the glory
I’m still here breathing
Forgive me — I forgive
