[Verse 1]

I'm one step from a breakdown

Two steps from being saved

Just try to see this through

I'm three steps from this nightmare

And four steps from the door

The rest is up to you

[Chorus]

Pardon me while I just

Turn my back and walk away

Pardon me if I can't listen

To the things you say

Pardon me if I can't fake it

While you still believe

Pardon me

[Verse 2]

I'm one step from forgiveness

And two steps from my grave

We're all just passing through

Three steps from redemption

Four from the devil's door

On a path that leads to you

[Chorus]

Pardon me while I just

Turn my back and walk away

Pardon me if I can't listen

To the things you say

Pardon me if I can't fake it

While you still believe

Pardon me

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Pardon me while I just

Turn my back and walk away

Pardon me if I can't listen

To the things you say

Pardon me if I can't fake it

While you still believe

Pardon me

[Outro]

I'm two steps from salvation

But I'm only taking one

Pardon me
