[Verse 1]

Take a step back, take a good look at myself

I can admit that I fell, so far that I need your help

Happy, happy, to try and tell you the truth

I'm scared of what that will do, but I need to be straight with you

[Pre-Chorus]

I made a mess, I made a mess

Would you love me, would you love me less if I confess?

Forgiveness, forgiveness

I made a mess, I made a mess

Would you love me, would you love me less if I confess?

Don't give up on me just yet

I need your forgiveness

[Chorus]

Don't give up on me just yet

I'm askin' forgiveness

Don't give up on me just yet

I'm askin' forgiveness

[Verse 2]

Take a look at how we can find a cure

Can we use honest words even if the healing hurts?

Look in my eyes, I need to apologize

Though I can't turn back time, your love will erase my crimes

[Pre-Chorus]

I made a mess, I made a mess

Would you love me, would you love me less if I confess?

Forgiveness, forgiveness

I made a mess, I made a mess

Would you love me, would you love me less if I confess?

Don't give up on me just yet

I need your forgiveness

[Chorus]

Don't give up on me just yet

I'm askin' forgiveness

Don't give up on me just yet

I'm askin' forgiveness

Don't give up on me just yet

I'm askin' forgiveness

Don't give up on me just yet

I'm askin' forgiveness

[Bridge]

Hearts wide open, can you let me explain?

I was so messed up, and I'm only a human

I'm the first to admit it, I made a mistake

Don't give up on me just yet

I need your forgiveness

[Chorus]

Don't give up on me just yet

I'm askin' forgiveness

Don't give up on me just yet

I'm askin' forgiveness

[Outro]

Hearts wide open, can you let me explain? (Let me explain)

I was so messed up, and I'm only a human

I'm the first to admit it, I made a mistake

Don't give up on me just yet

I need your forgiveness
