Don't ask for my forgiveness
It's a weight that I can't lift
Cuz I've been bent and broken under my own heavy gift
And I could say take a load off
And put the load right on me
But you'd still be a long way down this road to misery
If you can love yourself
Because you hate yourself
If you can love yourself
Because you hate yourself
You can be free
And maybe there's a kingdom
Where every sin is born
And the purpose of confession is to give your fear a form
So tell yourself a story
Cuz your memory will fade
And we all earn the right to suffer from mistakes that we have made
If you can love yourself
Because you hate yourself
If you can love yourself
Because you hate yourself
You can be free
