And so I say excuse me, I'm sorry, I made many mistakes
I will do my best to make a better situation.A better job. A more reliable place.
But I will not lie down in shame because you are upset
Life did not stop because of what you think
And you seem to think I'm running from a debt
I'm running from nothing
Running towards the clock
Five years to do what I can
And then my heart will stop me where I stand
Excuse me I'm sorry I made the mistakes
I spent a year by my wifes side
Concerned about which one of us may die
I'm not running from a thing ,you fools
There is no place ,nowhere i can hide
When the clock stops spinning I will die.
Until then I will work my debt and burn the candle from both ends
Do the things I didn't do...help anyone I can...love my wife and kids
And Find out who I really have for friends.
I don't need a god, judge or in law to tell me what I have done wrong
I know my situation and I am changing things as we speak
And while I have lost some things due to consequences of my actions
I knew what I would and could lose
I look at my healthy wife and kids and know I would give up everything again
And I will be rebuilding from beginning to an end
Until the clock stops its spin.
And when my wife and kids smile at me again
Ill know this life is a win
My credit with my wife is a perfect score
Cash only, in life. From now on less is more.
