Redemption
Dermot Kennedy Lyrics

Every wrong I did turned me to a better kid, so alright
Every mistake I made allowed me to learn and grow into a better person, so it's okay.

Every time we kissed, knew I wanted more of it, so don't hide
Every time we kissed, I felt a deep connection and wanted to experience more, so please don't hide your true feelings.

Never let it in, especially since we're getting rid of all lies
Never hold back your emotions, especially since we're trying to be truthful with each other.

You know you've always been someone I've confided in on the cold nights
You have always been the person I turn to for comfort on those lonely, cold nights.

But redemption will come for you so
You will find redemption, no matter what you've done in the past.

Guess I'll just call it a feeling
I can only describe this redemption as a feeling, but I know it's real.

Tonight I'll just comfort you so
Tonight, I'll be here to give you comfort and reassurance.

Maybe you can start to believe it
Perhaps this will help you believe in yourself and the possibility of redemption.

Oh, no
Expressing a realization or a feeling of concern or doubt.

Oh, no, no, I won't let go
I won't give up on you, no matter what.

Oh, no, no, I'll never leave ya
I will always be by your side, no matter how difficult it gets.

Will you start to believe it?
I hope this will start to make you believe in yourself and your ability to be redeemed.

All those nights alone, demons that you've never known would run through
All those lonely nights filled with fears and demons you've never faced.

Never had a hope, never let your wings unfold, but I know you
You never had hope or the courage to spread your wings, but I know you are capable of great things.

Every word I wrote, every single thing I told, it's all true
Everything I've written and everything I've said to you is genuine and true.

Let your spirit show you that I could never hold, we'll leave soon
Let your inner self show you that I could never hold you back from reaching your full potential, and we will leave this behind soon.

Guess we kinda thought it was easy
I suppose we thought that things would be easier than they turned out to be.

Least I saw the heart of you briefly, honey
But at least I caught a glimpse of your true self, my love.

Still I know the thought of you frees me
Even though we may be going our separate ways, the thought of you sets me free.

But redemption will come for you so
Once again, I want to remind you that redemption is possible for you.

Will you start to believe it?
Will you finally start to believe that redemption is possible for you, too?
