I was away for a while

But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me

But I don't deserve it



I'll cherish it well if you give me

One of your new starts

Just one more last chance

I swear that I'll earn it

If you front me for now



I'm good for it I swear

But still you allow me

To walk free of pain

Though I punish myself

I will never settle

The debts I've incurred

For scorning the face

Of absolute beauty

And measureless grace

And though I once mocked you

I'm dying to pay for it now.

I wasn't well for a while

I savor the things that I knew

Were sure to destroy me

And that seemed to hold me

That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go

On the strength of my own

But I should've known

That that gets me nowhere

I've learned that now I swear

But still you allow me

To walk free of pain

Though I punish myself

I will never settle

The debts I've incurred

For scorning the face

Of absolute beauty

And measureless grace
