lyrics

Penance

(music and lyrics by Chad Perrone)



Will I always feel like I owe you something

like I debt I’ll never repay?

Will I ever find forgiveness for myself

what amount of guilt will color this grey?



Cause I find myself looking for substitutes

wasting thoughts on what I can’t change

But letting go seems too easy a task

when there’s more penance to make.



Need to stop myself from reacting to you

like I would when I did yesterday

Rewiring this brain hasn’t come easy

and it shows in these choices I still make



Now I find myself scared of losing you

wasting time on things that I can’t change

owning my part in life feels half the battle

but there’s still more penance to make



Please remind me to stop holding my breath

just remind me to breathe

Please remind me to start forgiving myself

It’s in the blood, or so it seems.



What will it be like when I wake tomorrow

will you still look at me that way?

Or will it move around like it always does

I can’t seem to keep it all in place.



Now I find myself scared of fooling you

on believing I could ever change

Maybe you’ve forgiven too easily

there’s more penance to make.





(Chad A Perrone, Chad Perrone Music, ASCAP)
