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
