[Verse 1] I kept that weight in my coat Like a stone in the rain Smiled with my mouth But I wore all the pain I let you see the good parts Left the truth in the dark Now I'm standing here shaking With a split-open heart [Pre-Chorus] I was wrong I was lost I was proud And it cost But I came back With the truth in my hand No more hiding Baby, understand [Chorus] This is my confession (oh, my confession) I was breaking in two This is my confession (oh, my confession) Now I'm coming to you I fell down hard But I'm still here I said it out loud Now the smoke clears [Verse 2] I heard your silence answer Louder than words Like glass on the floor Every piece that I hurt I don't need to defend it I don't need a disguise Just one honest moment Looking straight in your eyes [Pre-Chorus] I was wrong I was lost I was proud And it cost But I came back With the truth in my hand No more hiding Baby, understand [Chorus] This is my confession (oh, my confession) I was breaking in two This is my confession (oh, my confession) Now I'm coming to you I fell down hard But I'm still here I said it out loud Now the smoke clears [Bridge] If mercy is a doorway Let me knock on it slow If love is a river Let it carry me home I don't want perfection Just a real second chance A man who can tell it And still learn how to stand [Final Chorus] This is my confession (oh, my confession) I was breaking in two This is my confession (oh, my confession) Now I'm coming to you I fell down hard But I'm still here I said it out loud Now the smoke clears This is my confession (oh, my confession) And I'm giving it all This is my confession (oh, my confession) Watch the old me fall
