reparation will cleanse the soul
'til the next time you walk into the fire
with your eyes closed
so many lessons learned
yet you still fail to make the grade
he says trust in me and I'll protect you

you forget all the vows you made
for all of the sins
you'd said you'd forsake
you're making the same mistake

[bridge]
when the thrill is gone
and the lights are on
it's just you
and a voice inside you
saying

[chorus]
I think I'm in trouble again
and I know it's too late to pray
I think I'm in trouble again
and I think I'm going to need some help

forty days and forty nights
reparation has left you cold
looks like this time
it won't be as easy
to save your sould
so many bridges burned
so many sad mistakes
you will find
for piece of mind
there's one hell of a price to pay

for all of the sins
you said you'd forsake
you're leaving it all to fate

repeat bridge
repeat chorus

forty days and forty nights
reparation will cleanse the soul
'til the next time you walk into the fire
with your eyes closed
I think I'm in trouble again

repeat chorus
