Redemption

Fell out of love once upon a time and I didn’t let go and that’s the tale of my crime
Lingered in shadows and hid from the world and all I was loosing was time
Well I shattered her heart and I shattered my heart and I broke another one’s too
And I lied and cheated and cheated and lied ‘til my own heart didn’t know what was true

And I’m looking for some peace and redemption
To ease away the shadow of my life
Looking for some peace and redemption
Just a little peace of mind

Now you might say I ain’t worth a damn and deserved every thing that I got
Well you go on and you study hard you may find out as you watch
Those of you without fail without sin may pick up the very first stone
And then throw it at me and I’ll stand like a man because guilt never travels alone

And I’m looking for some peace and redemption
To ease away the shadow of my life
Looking for some peace and redemption
Just a little peace of mind

Now I’m old and wise and gray in my hair and I still don’t know how it ends
And all I got left is my pain and my pride and blood of time on my hands

And I’m looking for some peace and redemption
To ease away the shadow of my life
Looking for some peace and redemption
Just a little peace of mind
