Lyrics:

[English]

In this farewell

There's no blood, there's no alibi

'Cause I've drawn regret

From the truth of a thousand lies

So let mercy come and wash away

What I've done

I'll face myself

To cross out what I've become

Erase myself

And let go of what I've done

Put to rest

What you thought of me

While I clean this slate

With the hands of uncertainty

So let mercy come and wash away

What I've done

I'll face myself

To cross out what I've become

Erase myself

And let go of what I've done

...

For what I've done

I start again

And whatever pain may come

Today this ends

I'm forgiving

What I've done

I'll face myself

To cross out what I've become

Erase myself

And let go of what I've done

(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na)

(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na)

What I've done

(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na)

(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na)

Forgiving what I've done

(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na, na)

(Na-na, na, na, na-na, na)
