Things I Thought I'd Never Do

We're giving it all away for nothing
Such a foolish thing to do
Always looking for that extra something
When my everything is you
There's a fear that burns a fire in my soul
When I'm face to face with things I can't control

This is my confession
My deepest darkest secret
I've been acting like my demons
Doing things I thought I'd never do
So I'm asking for redemption
I'm asking for forgiveness
All these things I've done to you
Things I thought I would never do
Things I thought I'd never do

Is it too late to say 'I'm sorry'?
Well, I'll say it anyway
I wrote the ending to out story
I played with love but lost the game
And now it's easier to say what's on my mind
Then to carry on with all these lies

This is my confession
My deepest darkest secret
I've been acting like my demons
Doing things I never thought I'd do
So I'm asking for redemption
I'm asking for forgiveness
All these things I've done to you
Things I thought I would never do
Things I thought I'd never do

Hiding the truth for way too long
Maybe I'm crazy pouring my heart out in a song
But I gotta scream it out at the top of my lungs
'Baby I was wrong, so wrong!'

This is my confession
My deepest darkest secret
I've been acting like my demons
Doing things I never thought I'd do
So I'm asking for redemption
I'm asking for forgiveness
All these things I've done to you
Things I thought I would never do
Things I thought I'd never do
