forgive me if i've been  confused between the means and an end  i forgot to be a brother and a friend  covered up indside  sometimes it's harder to know  i have failed at this scenario  my faults do run deep  your mercies do run deeper  so i knelt tonight  and felt that in somebody's mind  there's a memory of a balance met but left less than sublime  there's no credit line  no net worth to show  i can pay for this scenario  deepest apologies and sincere regret  for carrying this debt  this scenario returns me to where i began  losing what was mine and finding out a shortcut is a sin
