Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now are you sure you're ready to hear about this fast life that I lived?
The flashing lights and the black out nights just like this this
Would you sacrifice your sanity while looking past my sins?
And forgive my crazy friends for the trouble they got me in?
I was a stubborn as an addict with a habit for arguments
Scarred from a troubled past, with some of the darkest of intents
But if I make a conscious effort to clear my mind of this pressure
Then cross your heart and promise you'll accept it
[Verse 2]
These are my confessions, I trip on my words
A simple collection of bridges I've burned
Don't wanna make you leave
Wish this was make-believe
These are my confessions and lessons I've learned
My conscience, my reverend
Yeah, you are my church
Hope that you understand, you make me a better man
[Verse 3]
I guess today is the day
That them angels collided with my demons
Tryna provide reasons to the people that I cheated
The guilt has been built in the air that I'm breathin'
I tried whiskey, I tried pills, and I tried Jesus
I feel a chill in the air as I'm airin' out my grievance
The hairs standing up on my neck
Like fans standin' for the championship national anthem
High on the bleachers
Somebody please just be my preacher
[Verse 4]
These are my confessions, I trip on my words
A simple collection of bridges I've burned
Don't wanna make you leave
Wish this was make-believe
These are my confessions and lessons I've learned
My conscience, my reverend
Yeah, you are my church
Hope that you understand, you make me a better man
[Verse 5]
Lie to yourself, then you walk away
Try to pretend that you're as strong as Super Man
A little thought makes you hit the breaks
What's the point any other way?
No regrets, I'm just here to say
[Verse 6]
These are my confessions, I trip on my words
A simple collection of bridges I've burned
Don't wanna make you leave (Don't wanna make you leave)
Wish this was make-believe (Wish this was make-believe)
These are my confessions and lessons I've learned
My conscience, my reverend
Yeah, you are my church
Hope that you understand, you make me a better man
