Penance Lyrics

Falling apart and breaking up

Feel like my heart is waking now

And I don't know how to hurt

Voice of an angel, call me up

Who ever let me fall in love?

'Cause I know it never works for me

But still, I'll try

Even though you got the devil inside

You're the greatest man I've ever known

World dressed like Heaven, tastes like Hell

How did you fool me so damn well?

And you can't solve this with your fists

I always thought you'd know the best

A Glory Be, an Eternal Rest

But you can't let me live like this

But still, I'll try

'Cause I know you're not the devil, I'd die

Sooner than letting my angel go

So if you need to leave me alone

Just promise me you're coming home

And I promise I won't wait up for you dear

And whenever you need, I'll be here, my love

I promise I'd never give you up

Even if you give in to the fear

And I'll fix you as you wipe up

Every tear

Things have changed since I found you out

Not even God can stop it now

But I still love you the same

Wait for the night you don't come home

You can't leave me here alone

As I inherit the pain

But still, I'll try

To accept you've got the devil inside

'Cause I know you'll use him well

So if you need to leave me alone

Just promise me you're coming home

And I promise I won't wait up for you dear

And whenever you need, I'll be here, my love

I promise I'd never give you up

Even if you give in to the fear

But maybe I washed it away

With all of the blood

It begged you to shed

And may his light be granted

And save who they can't

Destroy alive or dead

So if you need to leave me alive

Just promise you won't give up the fight

Even if you give in to the fear

So I know you need to break my heart

You're more than what you do in the dark

And you're bleeding for more than for yourself

'Cause whenever you bleed, I feel it, my love

He's always right there up above

And there's nothing awaiting you in Hell

So let the devil out and

I know they'll treat him well
