Won't ask your permission
I'd rather get your forgiveness
Of course it's raining it's always raining
And if you met God would you blame him?

I may have laughed and turned my back
I may have sinned and gone off track
Two steps up and I fell right back
Do you hate me?
Well please don't hate me

But I tried to be good
I tried to be good
I tried to be good
I tried to be good I swear
Yeah

Won't ask your permission
I'd rather get your forgiveness
Of course it's raining it's always raining
And if you met God would you blame him?

I'm off my head and I'm off my meds
I'm out tonight because I can't pay rent
Shut my eyes and I still see red
I shut my eyes and I still see red

But I tried to be good
I tried to be good
I tried to be good
I tried to be good I swear
Yeah

Won't ask your permission
I'd rather get your forgiveness
Your forgiveness
Your forgiveness
Your forgiveness

Won't ask your permission
I'd rather get your forgiveness
