Can It Be Forgiven

There's always a reason, some kind of excuse
For what I've become and what I've been
You see who I should be, you see who I am
How the sacred and the sin
Get tangled up in knots beneath my skin

The selfishness inside me, can it be forgiven?
The jealousy inside me, can it be forgiven?
The bitterness inside me, can it be forgiven?
The anger inside me, can it be forgiven?
Can it be forgiven?

I wanted to say this isn't my fault
To find someone or something to blame
Then you took my face into your lovely hands
My guilt touched by innocence
and we both came away unstained

The selfishness inside me, can it be forgiven?
The jealousy inside me, can it be forgiven?
The bitterness inside me, can it be forgiven?
The anger inside me, can it be forgiven?
Can it be forgiven?
