[FJ Outlaw, Jelly Roll - Forgive Me lyrics]
Yeah, yeah
Sorrow's all I really ever feel
Ask the Lord if he can take the wheel
As I'm sweatin' terribly, grippin' steel
'Cause I never knew depression felt so real
I'm poppin' pills so I can feel okay
Vomiting most of my day away
Haunted by the things my father'd say
As my mama prays I'd see another day
I been haunted by my demons
They try to take my soul i been smokin'
I been drinkin' myself into a hole
I been questionin' and thinkin' if
I stay on this road
Will I float or am I sinking? 'Cause
I swear that I don't know
Have you ever seen a demon right
Above you as you sleep?
As you violently wake up and it
Looks into you so deep?
As you're crying and you're shaking
As you hide beneath your sheets
'Cause I see that demon nightly
He's inside me screamin'
Father, please forgive me for
Goin' down this road
It's honestly so hard for me
It's all I've ever known
It's hard to be the prodigy
Of those that came before
Especially when I lay me down to sleep
I'm all alone i'm prayin' Father
Please forgive me for goin' down this road
It's honestly so hard for me
It's all I've ever known
It's hard to be the prodigy
Of those that came before
Especially when I lay me down to sleep
I'm all alone
Father, forgive me tried lovin' myself
But the problems within me
I harbor the sorrow
So why even bother to borrow
A second of peace from my demons?
I am the reason
Nobody forced me to travel this
Road that I'm on
And nobody told me that when
I arrive from my drive
Everyone would be gone
I picked up the pieces that shattered
As if that even mattered
There's parts of me that have scattered
So beaten and battered
Mistreated and badgered
I'd rather be judged by twelve
Than carried by six
Through this prayer, I repent
Love is a vindictive fairytale myth
I epitomize what disparaging is
I've been traveling on this road for so long
That there's no telling where I would be
And I've been listening to the same old song
Every night when I hit my knees, I pray
Father, please forgive me for
Goin' down this road
It's honestly so hard for me
It's all I've ever known
It's hard to be the prodigy
Of those that came before
Especially when I lay me down to sleep
I'm all alone i'm prayin' Father
Please forgive me for goin' down this road
It's honestly so hard for me
It's all I've ever known
It's hard to be the prodigy
Of those that came before
Especially when I lay me down to sleep
I'm all alone
Sorrow's all I really ever feel
Ask the Lord if he can take the wheel
As I'm sweatin' terribly, grippin' steel
'Cause I never knew depression felt so real
I'm poppin' pills so I can feel okay
Vomiting most of my day away
Haunted by the things my father'd say
As my mama prays I'd see another day
