Desperate Times

Here we are at the end
Don’t know where to begin
After all of this time
All the things I denied
Here I hold up my hands
What is there to defend?
I'm just human I guess
Nothing more, nothing less

See, I would spy, I would preach
I would lie through my teeth
It's so easy to take, I got carried away
I climbed to the top and I liked what I saw
Yeah, it went to my head
Nothing more, nothing less

I can understand a broken promise
I can understand it well
Show me mercy, show me understanding
I know I was the enemy but I want to reconcile
Humankind is in a desperate time

So I smile and we shake
Maybe tell you my name
I’ve got a family of five
I'm just here to survive
Would I do it again?
Well wouldn't you if it meant
Keeping love at your chest?
Nothing more, nothing less

I can understand a broken promise
I can understand it well
Show me mercy, show me understanding
I know I was the enemy but I want to reconcile
Humankind is in a desperate time
