Matthew Jay Please Don't Send Me Away lyrics

Tell me now
What have you done
To justify your life, my son?

Did you help your brothers
When they were down?
And when the bullets flew
Did you stick around?

I had no words, I never spoke
If I had said one thing
You wouldn't know
I did no harm, I hurt no one

Why you ask me now
My chance has gone
Please don't send me away, I want to come in
If you give me today I will try again


Child, I gave you all the breaks
But all you did was take and take
You said you did no harm but you did no good
And never sought redemption, I think you should

I realize my selfish love
Has always got me through by just enough
I never thought this day would come
When the demons of my soul would be undone

Look up and see the angels
The gates have opened up for you
I hope your mind is peaceful
And love is everything you do
