[Instrumental] [Intro] [steel-string acoustic guitar enters with percussive thumb-slaps on beats 2 and 4] [syncopated fingerstyle chord progression] [Main Theme] [alternating bass notes with high-register melodic accents] [sustained open chords with rhythmic strumming flourishes] [Verse1] [Vocals grunge melodic scream with energy] I remember of a time When things were better than life Together we can make it through the night I didn't ever wanna fight I thought everything was gonna be okay But when I was wrong I never wanted to admit, but you were right Now all I can say Is that "I'm sorry's not enough" I'd act tough all the time but that's my crutch When you had enough And push come to shove What hurt me the most was when I lost your love {Chorus} Father can you please forgive me For I know not what I do This is the lie that I've prayed to you So Can you please help me just be better This is all I can ask of you (This is all I ask of you) [Verse 2} [Vocals grunge melodic scream with energy] I found myself in the hole I dug And pain just wouldn't ever reach that comfortable numb I could taste the salt left on my tongue And that's enough For me to see that time doesn't wait for anyone I'm always too late, and my ways never really changed So I try to lock it away inside my memory banks And await my fate {Chorus} Father can you please forgive me For I know not what I do This is the lie that I've prayed to you So Can you please help me just be better This is all I can ever ask of you (This is all I ask of you) [Verse 3] I thought I held the key to everything that I ever needed The grip of pride would bleed me dry every time I'd scream at the sky then cry Not knowing that it's only Attacks from the legion of demons I wasn't seeing That they were the reason Making me wanna quit and die Now I realize that I Have to Fight so that I can Survive {Chorus} So, Father can you please forgive me For I know not what I do This is the lie that I've prayed to you Can you please help me just be better This is all I can ask of you (This is all I ask of you)
