Ruined

Lust is a liar, leaving a taste so bitter in my mouth
That just won’t wash away
I pray for the day the thought of us decays
And dissolves beneath my dreams

I’ve been culprit; everything I touch turns to disarray
Ashamed of the pulpit I stand on today
The love we made has lead us both astray
I can’t help but keep losing sleep

I’m moving on, people will change
This always I can count on
Doomed to repetition of inconsistency
Chained to obligations staring back at me
Cowering under the weight of consequences

I shouldn’t be here, I need a second chance
I need forgiveness, I need a second chance
I need a way out of this mess I’ve made myself

We’ve sinned in the dark, and now I can’t forget
Two souls tied together, drowning in regret
Lust left us with a hole in our hearts
Our best intentions tore us apart
God, I hope You’ll forgive me for treating her like this
