Lyrics
Baby boy, I can feel your pain
Now you're in trouble with the law
But that criminal they saw,
It ain't you
Baby boy, can I please explain
Though you've hurt the ones you love,
All those names you're thinking of
They ain't true
I'm a monster (No you're not)
I'm a loser (No you're not)
I'm a cancer (No you're not, no youre not)
You are worthy of forgiveness
You can't always get it right
Life's a strange and tricky business
But you know it's worth a fight
If you work, put in the hours
You can get those scars to heal
Plant a seed, you'll get a flower
Spread it out, you'll get a field
Brother mine, though the world looks bleak
You're not alone on shaky ground
Every life has ups and downs
You're among friends
Give it time, and not just a week
And you'll start to see the change
And those words will rearrange
Into past tense
I was a monster (Now you're not)
An abuser (Now you're not)
I found the answer (let it out, let it out)
You are worthy of forgiveness
You can't always get it right
Life's a strange and tricky business
But you know it's worth a fight
If you work, put in the hours
You can get those scars to heal
Plant a seed, you'll get a flower
Spread it out, you'll get a field
