Crying Shame Lyrics

Made some mistakes in my life,

Cost me kids and a wife,

Try to turn the downside up,

Wishing no one ever has to drink from this cup.

I've run into some walls, time and time again,

Lord, please have mercy, this is a crying shame,

Still trying to cut through the pain and strife,

Trying so hard to fix what ain't right.

Tried so hard on my own,

But the time is gone, can't bring it back home,

Every step, every tear, every night alone,

Still searching for a way to atone.

Even when there ain't no solutions in sight,

I'm holding on, still putting up a fight,

Through the dark, through the cold,

Trying to make it right before I grow old.

Regret's a weight, it's heavy on my soul,

But I can't stop climbing, gotta take control,

If I could turn back time, I'd make it alright,

But the only way out is straight through the night.

Tried so hard on my own,

But the time is gone, can't bring it back home,

Every step, every tear, every night alone,

Still searching for a way to atone.

Made some mistakes, Lord knows I tried,

Still standing strong, no tears left to hide,

One last prayer before I lay my head,

Hoping for peace before my regrets are dead.
