Confessions

I walked through the door, still stuck in a haze
Hadn't seen my wife for days and days
She said, where you been all those nights
Stepped in close and said, look me in the eyes
The devil whispered, son, just tell more lies
But my heart broke down and I realized
Something's gotta change
Nothing's a secret, my whole life's a lie
If I don't come clean, Jesus, I'm gonna die
This is my confession, I can't hide
I've been living in a shadow, swallowed by pride
This is my confession, I won't run
Jesus, have mercy on what I've done
I drank till I stumbled, I smoked till I choked
I betrayed my own family for the demons I chose
I laid with another and I shattered her trust
All my vows turned to ashes, all my love into dust
The truth is a fire that's burning inside
If I don't let it out, it'll be my demise
This is my confession, I can't hide
I've been living in a shadow, swallowed by pride
This is my confession, I won't run
Jesus, have mercy on what I've done
No more chains, no more disguise
I lay it all down, Lord, open my eyes
This is my confession, I can't hide
I've been living in a shadow, swallowed by pride
This is my confession, I won't run
Jesus, have mercy on what I've done
Jesus, have mercy on what I've done
