The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Finding forgiveness at the foot of your bed

Down on your bended knees

Listen to the voice replying inside you head

"Just leave your message please…"

Sometimes your life may seem it's turned upside down

And the strangest things are happening

But you just don't give a thought about it

Can you fix it with a drug or a drink?

And you're out of control

So you just can't stand to talk about it

God knows

Be careful what you wish for

Be careful what you wish for

Can you get frightened as the thought of the truth?

Or are you gonna win at last? (I don't think so)

Sometimes you wish you hadn't sinned in your youth

'Cos now you're living in the past

Honesty is not a word that springs into mind

In the dead of night, when if just ain't right

And you really could be losing it

You pray, "dear lord, just take those ghosts from my sight!"

But the line is dead, dial collect instead

Operator keeps refusing it…
