I Don't Know Lyrics

Cannot find the words to say I'm sorry
Don't know how to show you I was wrong
Wasted all that you had given to me
Now I'm left with nothing and no one
And I find it's my fault
I'm the only one to blame
For the tears and the pain

All my life has lead to this decision
To return and ask you this one thing
And if I had one chance or if a million
Would it ever be enough for me
To explain what I've done
Now I know that I was wrong
Will you hold me again

And I find it's my fault
I'm the only one to blame
For the tears and the pain

I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me
For all that I have put you through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find your mercy
I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me
For all that I have put you through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find your mercy
What will it take until you forgive me
Oh Lord, will I find that you have already
I don't know

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is one of my favorites by them. It is a song of repentance to God, and someone who realizes during the course of the song that He already forgave them.
