This is a letter to God
This is a letter to him
Please forgive me now
Please forgive me now

Oh my God, oh my God
This is a letter I've written to you
In this world, had bad times
And I don't know what to do

You bring me love
You bring me joy
And they say I've destroyed a boy
You bring me pain

You bring me soul
So why the hell am I so out of control
This is a letter to God
A letter to you

And at times all I wanna say is
Boo hoo
But who knew?
It's the things you do

That bring me so closer to you
This is a letter to God
This is a letter to him
Please forgive me now

Please forgive me now
And all the lights burnt out and faded away
I watch your shadows in the night but you never stay
Tell me who is this woman that I display

I said no one's gonna tell me how to behave
I am not a slave
I am not a slave
I am not a slave

Rehabilitate, live and learn
Live and love, have some fun
Fly me away, away from here
Take away all of my fears

No more crying
No more lying
And no more last goodbyes
Take my hand

Cause you're the man
Cause you'll always understand
This is a letter to God
This is a letter to him

Please forgive me now
Please forgive me now
Forgive me now
Forgive me now

Forgive me now

    Lyric Correction:Oh dear god I’m writing this letter to you
    Cause I don’t have a clue
    Can you help me?


    I’m sitting here
    Simply trying to figure out
    What my life’s all about it
    Can you tell me?

    I never wanted to be
    The person you see
    Won’t you tell me who I am?

    I always wanted to die
    But you kept me alive
    Please tell me who I am


    I lie awake conducting this symphony,
    That you have gifted to me,
    but I don't ever sleep

    Don’t get mad
    Cause I get weak inside
    And I start to fall apart
    Cause I feel nothing


    I never wanted to be
    Some kind of comic relief
    Please show me who I am

    I been tortured and scorned
    Since the day thatI was born
    But I don’t know who I am

    And I thank you man for everything
    Sorry I’m so frightened about all of this
    Oh I wish I could give you more


    But all the lights are shining down on me
    And I feel violated by it all




    I never wanted to be
    The person you see but thank you
    Oh god please tell me now
    Are you disappointed or are you proud
    I’ve been also EVRYTHING, EVRYTHING!

    I’m so sorry I’m so weak
    And I turned into a freak
    But I don’t know ANYTHING, ANYTHING!

    I’ve lost all self-esteem
    A million, everything
    And I feel NOTHING, NOTHING!

    Oh god please tell me now
    God please tell me now
    Cause I feel nothing

    Oh dear god I’m writing this letter to you
    Cause I’m coming undone
    Please help me, me

    My Interpretation:This is difficult to say. If you check the Wikipedia article, it says that Courtney wrote maybe one line of it and the rest was a woman named Linda something.
