[It's just between you and me] [I've got something' to say] [I want to get it straight] [Before the sun goes down] Sorrow is a lonely feeling Unsettled is a painful place I've lived with both for far too long now Since we've parted ways I've been wrestling with my conscience And I found myself to blame If there's to be any resolution I've got to peel my pride away [Chorus] Just between you and me I've got something' to say want to get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom now Just between you and me I've got something to say If confession is the road to healing Forgiveness is the promised land I'm reaching out in my conviction I'm longing to make amends So, I'm sorry for the words I've spoken For I've betrayed a friend We've got a love that's worth preserving And a bond I will defend [Chorus] In my pursuit of God, I thirst for holiness As I approach the Son, I must consider this Offenses unresolved, they'll keep me from the throne Before I go to Him my wrong must be atoned If there's to be any resolution I've got to peel this pride away Just between you and me I've got something' to say I want to get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom It's my way to freedom It's my way to freedom {Repeat: x 2]) I've got something to say, so let me say it today It's my way to freedom Repeat: x 2] I've got something to say, confession needs to be made It's my way to freedom [Repeat: x 2] I've got something to say, confession needs to be made It's my way to freedom [Repeat: x 2] I've got something to say
