[Verse 1] I know that i've made mistakes And i'm aware i've told some lies I'm sorry that I broke your heart You'll be glad to know that I broke mine Well I lost two good friends this year And I buried both my dogs So if you think that i've been hiding out of fear Then you just don't know me at all [Chorus] You can hate me if you want to Cause if you think you've got a right Just make sure that you're not jumping to conclusions Before you go to draw your knife [Verse 2] I never meant to hurt a soul But just keep saying what you will I just tried to use the earth to fill a hole I found that God can only fill I've learned a lot of things this year But there's one thing that helped the most It's okay to burn a bridge down to the ground Right where you should've built a moat [Chorus] You can hate me if you want to Cause if you think you've got a right Just make sure that you're not jumping to conclusions Before you go to draw your knife Before you go to draw your knife (x2) [Verse 3] I can feel the pressure coming over me like setting sails Tried to come to my senses But sometimes they tend to fail And I tried to come out swinging But I couldn't hold back tears It's no wonder that a can of soup can't get me through this year And i've taken advantage of the debt that Jesus paid And i'm scared my heart has damage From the wars that I have waged And it's true before I've been a who*e like Mary Magdalene And i've felt stones that cracked my bones I'm just glad that God stepped in I'm glad that God stepped in [Verse 4] Well there's a father that forgives And there's a God that knows the truth So i'm not scared to face His judgement Well I'm just scared that you will too So you can go burn all my records And put me six feet in the ground There's still a flame that burns forever in my heart Your hatred just cannot put out Your hatred just cannot put out
