A train pulls in off the street Soft and low like a mother's heartbeat I've been trying to get my mind off me But I'm more self conscious than I've ever been By the time You get this I'll be long gone God's my witness It's all there in black and white It's just the story of my life Well, you get it or you don't You're the only one I've ever told By the time You get this I'll be long gone God's my witness And it's hard To keep living When I know I'm, not forgiven Still it comes, still it comes There's nothing else I could've done Not with the cards they've given me Do you think you'll ever forgive me? By the time You get this I'll be long gone God's my witness It's so hard to keep living when I know I'm not forgiven Hey I'm forgiven I'm forgiven I'm forgiven I'm forgiven (fade)
