Oh Lord, forgive me for my sins
I must've lost control again
And with the anger inside me and the gun so close
Could you really blame me for not just letting him go?
He hurt me, I loved him, we went up in flames
Only hurtful words were exchanged
I missed his love, I hated myself
The revenge may have went too far but I kind of like hell
You've bound me to your crucifix
I know I shouldn't complain
But I'm stuck here in purgatory because of your claims
We both know I'm insane so you can let me go
I don't belong here and it's known
Lord, I swear I believe
But I'd rather stay in the depths of hell
Then know you're watching over me
