There was once when I stepped out on you
And once when you left me too
There was twice when I couldn't say something nice
And twice when you found someone new

But I'm not asking forgiveness
And I'm not living in shame
But the tired old love keeps grief as his tenants
And I've paid my penance to you

There was once when I left you alone
And once when you didn't come home
There was twice when I couldn't take my own advice
By only the fault of my own

I'm not asking forgiveness
And I'm not living in shame
But the tired old love keeps grief as his tenants
And I've paid my penance to you

I'm not asking forgiveness
And I'm not living in pain
But the one thing I know, when you're on the offense
And I've paid my penance to you
Yes, I've paid my penance to you
