Mistakes

I constantly find myself apologizing for one thing or another
I keep messing up this thing or that
hurting myself and those I love the most
Am I really as bad as I seem?

The world keeps on spinning and spinning
moving on from one day to the next
and here I am, stuck on yesterday
unable to move on...

Do I really expect perfection?
From myself perhaps
but I can't help but cry
when I slip and fall as often as I do

can you ever forgive me?
for being a bit less than superman?
not a hero, but a zero?
I can't even seem to pull up my own bootstraps right

Are you really there?
holding out your hand
are you strong enough to pull me out of this mess?
Do you love me enough to forget about all that I've done?

I keep hurting you and turning my back
as if all you've done didn't matter
all you gave is your life
can't I show more respect than that?

rather than be thankful for all that you are
I complain that you aren't more
perhaps a genie in a bottle
to grant my every wish

but who am I really?
except a selfish little brat
you call me as your own
though I think I deserve it, I don't

can you ever forgive me?
you died to save a wretch like me
nowhere near perfect, but falling fast
a little less than the angels

I love you Jesus
I have nothing more to give
But you didn't ask for anything
what you gave is a free gift
