Couldn't Hurt To Try

What if I apologize for everything I've done?
And what if I said that you were right and then I finally admit that I was wrong?
Or have I worn out all my welcomes and have I finally reached the point
Where all my words have no more value and you wish I'd just stay gone?

And God forgiveness sounds so good
And I'm in need so much that you would not believe
Do you think that you've got any left for me?
And when he one day calls me home and it comes time to own my sin
Can I make good enough excuses for exactly what I've been?

What if I finally owned up to all the lies that I have told
And all the loves that I've ignored and all the ways I haven't grown?
Or have I wasted so much time wrapped up in only myself
And stupid things I thought that mattered, you would think I'd know by now?

And God forgiveness sounds so good
And I'm in need so much that you would not believe
Do you think that you've got any left for me?
And when he one day calls me home and it comes time to own my sin
Can I make good enough excuses for exactly what I've been?

Do you think there will be a day when I can sleep content
And say I did the best that I could and all my grace was all well spent?
And can you find it in your heart to let go
And forget all bad impressions that I've left and scars I didn't mean to give?

And God forgiveness sounds so good
And I'm in need so much that you would not believe
Do you think that you've got any left for me?
And when he one day calls me home and it comes time to own my sin
Can I make good enough excuses for exactly what I've been?
What have I been?
