Atone Lyrics

Would you forgive me

If I don't apologize

For the way that you made me

For the way I'm seen in your eyes

For deep in this nothing

I've found everything I need

To Break free of the nothing

The nothing you've left for me

Why should I atone

For the sins of my father

Never meant to stand alone

Yet I try ever harder

It cuts me to the bone

I make no apologies

No more time on my knees

Why should I atone

I try to be good

But the world has a different plan

I know that I should

Keep trying to be a better man

But it just beats me down

No matter how hard I try

But I'll just keep marching on

I'll just keep marching on

Why should I atone

For the sins of my father

Never meant to stand alone

Yet I try ever harder

It cuts me to the bone

I make no apologies

No more time on my knees

Why should I atone

Go on laugh at me

Lay my path for me

I will dive in these tears

And swim happily

I'll be feasting on love

Keep your apathy

Hard to leave it behind

This pain of enormous size

Hard to keep it inside

But I won't apologize

Why should I atone

For the sins of my father

Never meant to be alone

Yet I try ever harder

It cuts me to the bone

I make no apologies

No more time on my knees

Why should I atone

Why should I atone

For the sins of my father

Never meant to stand alone

Yet I try ever harder

It cuts me to the bone

I make no apologies

No more time on my knees

Why should I atone
