Sorry Heart

I've tried to change a lifetimes worth of sinning

I swear I tried the best a man could do

I've rolled so many dice but I ain't winning

And I gambled with the trust I found in you

But I remain the sinner, nothing changes

These dice I roll keep coming up the same

I've never read the book but turned the pages

And I guess my sorry heart holds all the blame 

I thought that I could somehow be forgiven 

That maybe all my wrongs would wash away 

As if this life of mine could be worth livin'

Yet I struggle through with every single day

And I remain the sinner, nothing changes

These dice I roll keep coming up the same

I've never read the book but turned the pages

And I guess my sorry heart holds all the blame

The road on which I've travelled, never ending

The mountains that I've climbed forever high

This sinner man by rights should be descending 

Not tempted by the angels in the sky 

So I remain the sinner, nothing changes

These dice I roll keep coming up the same

I never read the book but burned the pages

And I guess this sorry heart holds all the blame
