If Bella Repented

I'm watching the world come crashing down

I'm seeing it through my dark-rimmed eyes

All of the walls that I've built up

Crumble around me with all of my lies.

You remember my past and all of my sin

You don't see regret, you don't see my pain

All you remember is all that I've been

And all you see is someone insane

But all of the deaths, all of the dreams

All of the nightmares, they're haunting me

They're holding me back, they're holding me broken

But there are some words that I haven't spoken

So much of my past, so many years

I wish I could go back, wish I could erase

I wish my remorseful, stinging tears

Of all my sins were the only trace

I can't change the past, but I can repent

Can't bring back to life those that I've sent

To an early grave, but I can remain

Forever and always, humbled in pain

But now I'm crying out to those I've hurt

Maybe this plea is completely in vain

But I'm begging you now

I don't want to live with this pain

Please forgive me and break these chains

Let me lead the life I never knew

I need you to forgive me and let me move on

Let me erase my past, let me start over new.
