I placed my collection of failures
In a big box of regret
Then I adressed it to
The devil
The one I blame for all my debt
Like cash on the barrel head
It was time for me to give him his due
And throw in for free
The memories
Of the good I didn't do
The first example of losin'
I packed into a bundle of years
Strategically placed it in
The corner
Cold and dampened by my tears
Then I sealed it up with a soft prayer
No one heard but Jesus and me
I dropped the box into
The fire
How beautiful ashes can be
How beautiful
The ashes can be
How beautiful
The ashes
Can be
How beautiful
The ashes can be
How beautiful
The ashes
Can be
In a big box of regret
Then I adressed it to
The devil
The one I blame for all my debt
Like cash on the barrel head
It was time for me to give him his due
And throw in for free
The memories
Of the good I didn't do
The first example of losin'
I packed into a bundle of years
Strategically placed it in
The corner
Cold and dampened by my tears
Then I sealed it up with a soft prayer
No one heard but Jesus and me
I dropped the box into
The fire
How beautiful ashes can be
How beautiful
The ashes can be
How beautiful
The ashes
Can be
How beautiful
The ashes can be
How beautiful
The ashes
Can be
