Song lyrics

[Intro:]
(Yeah, we all make mistakes
Yeah, here are some of mine)
Yeah, this is my life
Lord forgive me (c'mon)
For the way I'm livin
(I'm a sinner man, all of us are)
Lord forgive me
For the way I'm livin

[Verse 1:]
Lord forgive me, I know I've made a lot of mistakes
When you look at my face you can tell I'm ready to break
Ready to smack, lost, where am I at
I keep looking for light though why am I in the black
It's invisible I've been mixing and twisting the principles
There I go talking 'bout my life, how it's miserable
It's pitiful I live in this prison (something something)
Tryin' to minister when I'm the one who needs to be ministered to
Lord forgive me
I don't know why I do this
I betray you stab you in the back like judas
Like Peter I deny you, like I don't know
Tears running down my face as the rooster crows
I'm a liar living in a world of them
I'm dyin' sins starting to fill my lungs
Oh no, I can hear the devil up in my head
Great, Nate it looks like you're doin' circles again

[Hook: 2x]
It's my life is one big circle
I'm trying to go forward, but I'm in reverse still
It's like my life wants me to fail
I say I'm looking for heaven, but I'm headed for hell

[Verse 2:]
I wake up in the morin'
My minds on it
Never said a prayer, lord, never even noticed
Why am I so open to blaming when I'm broke
The moment I feel fine, I left the door closed
Dealing with insecurity not all by myself
I'm having a hard time trusting anyone else
I treat you like a
I put you on the shelf
I can play later if I need any help
I think you're calling but I don't really hear you
Seems I should be concerned with what I see in the mirror
What I see in the mirror is more than my appearance
I see anger eating away at my spirit
And maybe I should change, but I don't really want to
Unless I feel pain its like I don't really want to
I know, by now it would seem like I'd be smarter
The worst part is now I'm right back where I started

[Hook: 2x]
It's my life is one big circle
I'm trying to go forward, but I'm in reverse still
It's like my life wants me to fail
I say I'm looking for heaven, but I'm headed for hell

[Verse 3:]
Father, please, I know I don't deserve your grace
None of us do
Yeah
You were perfect I go running away with nothing to say
Lord, I'm ready to change
Take me, and mold me into something that right
Like I'm out of your light, I'm out of your sight
I need you to charge me
Pull me out the darkness
Without you I'm just another phony
I'm without you it's like I don't even know me show me
Pull me in the right direction
Need your life protection
I'm sick of living life like I don't need to have you
When in the end we both know that I have to
It's sad too
Cause every time I'm falling away, I can hear the little voice inside my head sayin'

[Hook: 2x]
It's my life is one big circle
I'm trying to go forward, but I'm in reverse still
It's like my life wants me to fail
I say I'm looking for heaven, but I'm headed for hell
