And no longer be subject to this emotional craze
I will break my bad habits and relinquish my past
Though I've said it before, this time is my last

But for those who lost faith and placed me on a shelf
It is up there I've been with my demons and anguish
Allowing myself to wither and languish
I beg forgiveness from those whom I've hurt
For treating them as if they were nothing but dirt
Now that I've come clean I feel empowered
More like a man and less like a coward
The only thing left for me to do
Is win back the love once held so dearly by you...

I live for you, and only you.
For you,
I will cherish every breath
