Lyrics

 * 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


 * What I've done (Na-na, na, na, 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)
