I Confess, I Guess

The year I turned 10 I couldn't fall asleep
Too many big problems only I could fix
Like where do we go when we die?
What happens when the lights go out?

On Sundays I sang with a choir in the church
All I wanted to be was good

Convinced the statues of Jesus would fall down
Crush me for thinking bad thoughts
I had all of the shame
But none of the God

I confess, I guess
I'll name my sins to take the heat off
Name my sins so I can be absolved
I confess, I guess
I'll snitch on my own secrets
Whisper all my darkest thoughts

Then at the sleepover when I was fifteen
I told my giggling friends I'd wait 'till I got married
Virginity could keep me good
Keep me from getting too lost
I had all of the shame
But none of the God

I confess, I guess
I'll name my sins to take the heat off
Name my sins so I can be absolved
I confess, I guess
I'll snitch on my own secrets
Whisper all my darkest thoughts

I confess, I guess
I confess, I guess
I confess, I guess
I'll name my sins to take the heat off
Name my sins so I can be absolved

I confess, I guess
Oh I will snitch on my own secrets
Whisper all my darkest thoughts

I confess, I guess
I confess, I guess
I confess, I guess
I confess, I guess
