(Verse 1)

I’ve been stumbling through the ashes of mistakes I can’t outrun,

Heavy with the shadows of the wrongs I’ve done.

But I see a little mercy in your eyes tonight,

Even when I’m broken, you still hold me tight.

(Chorus)

Forgive me anyway, when I fall and lose my way,

When the whiskey talks louder than the words I should say.

I ain’t perfect, but I’m trying every day,

So take this worn-out heart, and forgive me anyway.

(Verse 2)

Scars upon my story, but they don’t define the man,

I’m learning how to walk again with trembling hands.

I ain’t proud of the damage carved into my name,

But your love’s a fire burning through the shame.

(Chorus)

Forgive me anyway, when I fall and lose my way,

When the whiskey talks louder than the words I should say.

I ain’t perfect, but I’m trying every day,

So take this worn-out heart, and forgive me anyway.

(Bridge)

It’s a long road home when you’ve been gone too long,

But grace is a melody that pulls me along.

If you let me stay, I’ll make my peace with yesterday,

With every prayer I pray—

Forgive me anyway.

(Chorus/Outro)

Forgive me anyway, when I fall and lose my way,

When the darkness comes knocking, your light makes it fade.

I ain’t perfect, but I’m trying every day,

So take this worn-out heart,

Yeah, take this broken heart,

And forgive me anyway.
