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 the shadows, 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 the shadows, 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 the shadows, 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
