[INTRO]
[Verse]
I never heeded the bells of reason tolling
Nor the storm of decency raging wild
I crossed far beyond the salvaging line of floating
For to me, nothing mattered, nothing at all
I was thick as thieves with the devil himself
Each evening he’d pull up a chair at my table
We’d hatch foolish schemes without a care
No fear of bars, no dread of the jail
[Refrain]
Every night, the same old refrain
Shaking for this worthless son of pain
I ignored the hurt deep in your soul
Never thinking of tomorrow, these regrets that grow
Mama, forgive me for the sleepless nights
Your eyes in the darkness… still save my life
[Verse]
You were…
The breakwater shattering the groundswell waves
The stones of the castle perched on high ground
The safest refuge, the top of the keep
The titanium armor shielding your beloved ones
[Bridge]
Spoke like a reverend preaching grace
Acted like Satan in disguise
Drew in the worst
Corrupted the finest
That was the price I paid
That was the price I paid
[solo]
[Refrain]
Every night, the same old refrain
Shaking for this worthless son of pain
I ignored the hurt deep in your soul
Never thinking of tomorrow, these regrets that grow
Mama, forgive me for the sleepless nights
Your eyes in the darkness… still save my life
[ Final Verse]
Today I lie awake, the bells ring too late
The storm has passed, but the line’s been crossed forever
I want to rise again, reach for your gentle hand
Say forgive me for the nights when nothing mattered
[Outro]
Mama… your eyes in the night
Still save me, even though I’ve drowned
Forgive me for the nights when nothing mattered
Forgive me for the nights when nothing mattered
Forgive me
Forgive me
