[Verse 1]

Blood and dust

Sweat and smoke

I hold my tongue until I choke

Bring myself to pay for these stones that feel, the hurt we feel

What's a man without a soul waiting for life?

[Verse 2]

Cut me down

And watch me bleed

I made you king, so shame on me

Unbroken ground, sacrificed

The lost to found, Fools' Paradise

But I'm a man who needs to hope

You can't make me hype

[Chorus]

I won't let myself be forgiven

I won't say that I've done wrong

You say I'm stuck in my ways, but out of my mind

Did what I did cause I had to survive

I won't let myself be forgiven

I don't need to justify

[Verse 3]

If it's too much for you to take

Then save yourself and walk away

Cause we can't stand on shaken stone

Head to head, two hearts alone

We've got nothing else to hold

But it don't make it right

[Chorus]

I won't let myself be forgiven

I won't say that I've done wrong

You say I'm stuck in my ways, but out of my mind

Did what I did cause I had to survive

I won't let myself be forgiven

I don't need to justify

[Bridge]

That's no me

I can't deny, baby, you to save me

What if I need, just to fall?

[Outro]

I won't let myself be forgiven

I won't say that I've done wrong

I've been stuck in my ways, but out of my mind

Did what I did cause I had to survive

I won't let myself be forgiven

I don't need to justify
