Lyrics

I'm about to lose the battle and cross the line
I'm about to make another mistake
And even though I try to stay away
Everything around me keeps dragging me in
I can't help thinking to myself
What if my time would end today, today, today?
Can I guarantee that I will get another chance
Before it's too late, too late, too late

[Chorus]
Forgive me
My heart is so full of regret
Forgive me
Now is the right time for me to repent, repent, repent

[Verse 2]
Am I out of my mind?
What did I do? Oh, I feel so bad!
And every time I try to start all over again
My shame comes back to haunt me
I'm trying hard to walk away
But temptation is surrounding me, surrounding me
I wish that I could find the strength to change my life
Before it's too late, too late, too late

[Chorus]
Forgive me
My heart is so full of regret
Forgive me
Now is the right time for me to repent, repent, repent

I know O Allah You're the Most-Forgiving
And that You've promised to
Always be there when I call upon You
So now I'm standing here
Ashamed of all the mistakes I've committed
Please don't turn me away
And hear my prayer when I ask You to

[Chorus]
Forgive me
My heart is so full of regret
Forgive me
Now is the right time for me to repent, repent, repent
