If ever i stray

Forgive me someone, for I have sinned
And I know not where I should begin
Some days it feels like you just can´t win
No matter what you do or say.
Things didn´t kill me but I don´t feel stronger
Life is short but it feels much longer
You´ve lost that drive, you´ve lost that hunger
To pull yourself through the day.
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
Take me down to the English Channel
Throw me in where the water is shallow
And then drag me on back to shore!
´Cos love is free and life is cheap
As long as I´ve got me a place to sleep
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
I can´t ask for anything more
Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4
We´ve all got secrets that we hold inside
The worst little things that we try and defy
The worst one of all that you never can hide
Is that you´re never quite as strong as you sound
So I´m sorry baby, for the times I´ve hurt you
Sorry friends, for the times I desert you
Most days it feels like I don´t deserve you
No wonder that you´re all still around
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
Take me down to the English Channel
Throw me in where the water is shallow
And then drag me on back to shore!
´Cos love is free and life is cheap
As long as I´ve got me a place to sleep
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
I can´t ask for anything more
Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4
Come on and join me in the water
Swim for hope
Sometimes it´s hard to remember
I couldn´t do this on my own
If ever I stray from the path I follow
Take me down to the English Channel
Throw me in where the water is shallow
And then drag me on back to shore!
´Cos love is free and life is cheap
As long as I´ve got me a place to sleep
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
I can´t ask for anything more
I can´t ask for anything more
The path I chose isn´t straight and narrow
It wanders ´round like a drunken fellow
Some days it´s hard for me to follow
But if you´ve got my back I´ll go on.
If you´ve got my back I´ll go on.
And I know not where I should begin
Some days it feels like you just can´t win
No matter what you do or say.
Things didn´t kill me but I don´t feel stronger
Life is short but it feels much longer
You´ve lost that drive, you´ve lost that hunger
To pull yourself through the day.
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
Take me down to the English Channel
Throw me in where the water is shallow
And then drag me on back to shore!
´Cos love is free and life is cheap
As long as I´ve got me a place to sleep
Clothes on my back and some food to eat
I can´t ask for anything more
Come on everybody sing it 1, 2, 3, 4
We´ve all got secrets that we hold inside
The worst little things that we try and defy
The worst one of all that you never can hide
Is that you´re never quite as strong as you sound
So I´m sorry baby, for the times I´ve hurt you
Sorry friends, for the times I desert you
Most days it feels like I don´t deserve you
No wonder that you´re all still around
But if ever I stray from the path I follow
Take me down to the English Channel
Throw me in where the water is shallow
And then drag me on back to shore!
´Cos love is free and life is cheap

If you´ve got my back I´ll go on.
