Needtobreathe's song is a heartfelt plea for forgiveness and reconciliation, expressing regret for past mistakes and a determination to make amends. The lyrics convey humility and repentance, as the singer kneels and lays down their faults at the feet of the one they've wronged. While not explicitly mentioning God, the themes of confession, surrender, and seeking grace align with Christian concepts of repentance and restoration. The song's emotional depth and spiritual undertones make it a fitting piece for reflection on personal accountability and the hope of making things right.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I'll make it better, the next time around
It's all my fault, I've been wrong, I've been wondering
If you were right, and I was wrong, I've been suffering
I'm sorry if I've been letting you down
I'll make it up to you, down on my knees
Lay it down at your feet
I'll make it up to you, down on my knees
Lay it down at your feet
And I, I, I, I'll...
And I'll make it better the next time around
It's all my fault, I've been wrong, I've been wondering
If you were right, and I was wrong, I've been suffering
I'm sorry if I've been letting you down
I'll make it up to you, down on my knees
Lay it down at your feet
I'll make it up to you, down on my knees
Lay it down at your feet
And I, I, I, I'll...
I'll make it up to you, down on my knees
Lay it down at your feet
I'll make it up to you, down on my knees
Lay it down at your feet
Oh, I will make it up to you, down on my knees
Lay it down at your feet
I'll make it up to you, down on my knees
Lay it down at your feet
Are you strong enough, are you tough enough
Do you love enough, to make it up to me
