Confession
Uriah Heep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so sorry for the things I've done
And the times it went a little wrong
Try to understand
That I've made my plans
With my love for you in mind

Sometimes you get the wrong idea
And I can't seem to make it clear
If my heart doesn't show
It's ‘cause I don't know
The best way to say I love you

Every living day
You fill my heart
With a breath of spring
And I search the universe




For some joy
That I can bring to you

Confession"

I'm so sorry for the things I've done
And the times it went a little wrong
Try to understand that I made my plans
With my love for you in mind

Sometimes you get the wrong idea
And I can't seem to make it clear
If my heart doesn't show it's cause I don't know
The best way to say I love you

Every living day you fill my heart
With a breath of spring
And I search the universe for some joy
That I can bring
To you

Every living day you fill my heart
With a breath of spring
And I search the universe for some joy
That I can bring
To you!

I'm so sorry for the things I've done
And the times it went a little wrong
Try to understand
That I've made my plans
With my love for you in mind

Sometimes you get the wrong idea
And I can't seem to make it clear
If my heart doesn't show
It's ‘cause I don't know
The best way to say I love you

Every living day
You fill my heart
With a breath of spring
And I search the universe
For some joy
That I can bring to you



Grando Furrain

But Reality is this:

Never sorry for the things I've done
And the times it went a little wrong
You never understand that I made my plans
With my love for you in mind

Almost always you've got wrong ideas
And you can't seem to make it clear
If your brain doesn't get it cause you don't care
Wheather I love my bi-ch or not

Every single day you fill my head
With an aching pain
And I search the universe for some cure
That I can heal
My soul

Every single day you fill my head
With an aching pain
And I search the universe for some cure
That I can heal
My soul

Sometimes Byron's voice still brings a tear to my eyes. I've  loved his voice since 1970 and High Priestess.

I too.. He was so amazing singer

This is what I call "perfection"... Few can do that.... One of the best rock-songs ever!!!

When I look at my wife I think of this song. I bought my first Heep album in 76. Married her in 86. I think she loves them more than I do. Good to know you love them also.

Very special indeed !!!. Great emotions in their performance

Love the Beach Boys-esque harmonies. Really shows how versatile Heep could be. It didnt always work like on I Can't Stop Singing but David Byron really knocked ballads out of the park

Александр Пригорницкий

Великая группа! Лучшие годы творчества - 1970-1977, а с Байроном - лучшие альбомы!

Yelena Malinovskaya
