Well I would like to think
The world hasn't seen
That all the best is still to come
And I know life ain't easy

I pass them sleeping on the streets
Their bloodstained hands and dirty feet
And I can't ignore them
Any more then I already have

So we laugh, and we smile
And we play our games of sweet denial
But don't tell me we're forgiven
If we hold, all our breath
If we kneel right down and just repent
You can't tell me we're forgiven

Start with me I cannot lie
When my heart doesn't fallow my eyes
Turn away from all the suffering
That surrounds our time on this earth

Some their life has been a curse
I say I'm sorry and I should change
You know it just could be me someday

So we laugh, and we smile
And we play our games of sweet denial
But don't tell me we're forgiven
If we hold, all our breath
If we kneel right down and just repent
You can't tell me we're forgiven

There's no way out of here
I don't want to die, and leave it all behind, yeah
Each day part of me disappears
But who am I to judge, what's been sent from above

And so we laugh, and we smile
And we play our games of sweet denial
But don't tell me we're forgiven, yeah
If we hold, all our breath
If we kneel right down and just repent
You can't tell me we're forgiven

We can't laugh, we can't smile
When so much just ain't right
Well it can't go on forever
If we hold, our breath
If we kneel right down and repent, yeah
You can't tell me we're forgiven

Well you can't tell me we're forgiven
Yeah, yeah
