sometimes i can't help but give in
and indulge myself in whatever whim that comes to mind
even when i know it isn't right
and i find myself back in this dark place
undeserving of your grace
and every time i see your face
i am ashamed of my mistakes
and i try to understand how you could love me after all of this
why can't i just resist?
and i wonder what you see in me
when every time i look in the mirror
my failure is all i see
and i just long to run away
from the face that's staring back at me
when i see myself in the mirror
and i can't take this anymore
this guilt consumes my mind oh lord
from all of my mistakes
and from all of my failures
and i try to understand how you could love me after all of this
why can't i just resist?
and i wonder what you see in me
when every time i look in the mirror
my failure is all i see
