I was wrong from the start,
Selfishness, stubborn pride,
Caught in sin, reckless ways,
Self-deceived, cold inside,
Sending messages of need, but I couldn't seem to leave,
Silent stories wrapped in me,
Oh, I needed to be free.

Needed to be free.

No excuse, no reply, no alibi,
No defence, no reasons why, no alibi, oh.

How I needed your grace,
How I needed forgiveness,
What I'd done, I could not erase,
How I needed your deliverance.

No excuse, no reply, no alibi,
No defence, no reasons why, no alibi.

No alibi.

Oh,
Oh.

How I needed your grace,
How I needed your forgiveness,
What I'd done, I could not erase,
How I needed your deliverance.

I could not return to you, not until I faced the truth,
To be honest, to be real, to give up this heart of steel.

No alibi,
No defence, no reasons why, no alibi.

To be honest, to be real, to give up this heart of steel,
To be honest, to be real, no alibi.
