lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury
I hope you will not rush to judgment
I hope you will not hurry

cuz there's quite a few things
you ought to have in mind
before you go on condemning
this poor soul of mine

The truth is I've already paid the price
I have already served my time
and there is no amount of money
fine dining, drugs nor wine

That could ever bring back
all the time that you once had
that could ever bring back
the time that you once had

maybe I didn't pay up
maybe I didn't do it right
maybe I stayed up
the whole damn night

maybe I'm not sorry
but then again maybe I am
maybe I just fucked up
as much as anyone can

but I swear to God
it keeps me up at night
but for as much as I've done wrong
so also, I have done right

in sharing my love and service
to those around me
and to humbling myself to the lord
on one bended knee

you can never bring back
the time that you once had
you can never bring back
the time that you once had

I know that's all the time I have to plea
and I pray that on behalf of our maker you will see
that although I am a sinner
I am truly sorry

and I hope that in your deliberations
you will find my salvation
and that I may too join you good people
in all of eternity
