There are things, I have done.
There's a place, I have gone.
There's a beast,  And I let it run.
Now it's runnin' my way.

There are things, I regret.
That you can't forgive. You can't forget.
There's a gift, That you sent.
You sent it my way.

So, take this night. Wrap it around me like a sheet.
I know I'm not forgiven, But I need a place to sleep.
So, take this night. Lay me down on the street.
I know I'm not forgiven, But I hope that I'll be given
Some peace.

There's a game, That I played.
There are rules, I had to break.
There's mistakes, That are made.
But I made 'em my way.

So, take this night. Wrap it around me like a sheet.
I know I'm not forgiven, But I need a place to sleep.
So, take this night. Lay me down on the street.
I know I'm not forgiven, But I hope that I'll be given
Some peace.
