In this farewell There's no blood, there's no alibi 'Cause I've drawn regret From the truth of a thousand lies So let mercy come and wash away What I've done I'll face myself to cross out what I've become Erase myself And let go of what I've done Put to rest what you thought of me While I clean this slate With the hands of uncertainty So let mercy come and wash away What I've done I'll face myself to cross out what I've become Erase myself And let go of what I've done For what I've done I start again And whatever pain may come Today this ends I'm forgiving what I've done I'll face myself to cross out what I've become Erase myself And let go of what I've done (Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na) What I've done (Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na) Forgiving what I've done (Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na) (Na na na na)
