Pay For My Past

Balancing the budget,
sorting out the costs,
looking for a way to make
more profits to each loss.

This would be so much easier if I didn't have to pay for my past.
Forgive me, please forgive me, I'd like to ask.

You told me so, you told me.
You knew it all along.
We know the pain I caused you.
I know I've done you wrong.

This would be so much easier if I didn't have to pay for my past.
Forgive me, please forgive me. That's all I ask.

I've wasted precious time,
been hasty with precious people,
and done some very stupid things,
though most of them were legal.

And it would be so much easier if I didn't have to pay for my past.
Forgive me, please forgive me. If you want to receive, just ask.
