Sometimes I cry in the dark of the night
As I lie in my bed and I turn out the lights
I look back on my life, all the things that I did
All the words never spoken, all the secrets I've hid

All the children I've had that I didn't take care of
There may be a few I'm not even aware of
All the people I've hurt, all the pain I've awoken
All the things that I've taken, all the hearts that I've broken

All the things that I said that I couldn't take back
And what I did to myself... wait, I'm coming to that
I got drunk, I feel drugs and I lived like a dog
I had no heart at all and my mind was a fog

As I look back on all of these things that i've done
My past is all blackness, my life is no fun
So I look to the sky and I ask for forgiveness
But does anyone hear? Only God is my witness

And I know why I feel all these feelings inside
Now you, too, should understand why, sometimes, I cry
