Why is it so hard to speak,
When absolution is just a word away?
Why must I be so weak,
And this word be so very difficult to say?
It s so hard to be free,
When all the means of redemption lie within.
The word lies inside me,
But I lack even the courage to begin.
I know that peace is near,
Yet all of my hopes are replaced with worry.
My heart is filled with fear,
Because I'm far too vain to say "I'm sorry."
