Deitrick Haddon - The More I Praise Lyrics

Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh

Can you give me just one more chance?
Can you give me just one more chance?
All I'm asking for is one more chance

I'm just a dead man walking
I got nothing to loose
Tomorrow is not promised
Might is well tell the truth
Truth is I always loved ya'
My pride got in the way
Gotta get this off my chest
I pray it's not too late.

You gave me everything
Everything I needed and more
I saw you reaching for me
That's when I slammed the door
But look at me now (look at me now)
I'm just a mess (I'm just a mess)
And I must confess (and I must confess)

[Chorus]
I cried all day (I cried)
Prayed all night (I prayed)
I'm willing to make all my wrongs right
One more chance
Can you give me just one more chance?
Can you give me just one more chance?
I refuse to go to my grave
Knowing that I treated you this way
One more chance
Can you give me just one more chance?
Can you give me just one more chance?

I'm just a dead man walking
Just hear me out
I'm asking for forgiveness
That I can't live without
Truth is I don't deserve it
I should be locked away
Throw away the key
Never see the light of day
Oh but they can't judge me
Cause I judge myself
And I surrender
I'm in need of help
I need you to save me
I have learned my lesson
Here it is lord
This is my confession.

[Chorus]

I lied (I lied)
I cheated (I cheated)
When I should have fought for love
I retreated
Then I placed the blame on you
Walked away, said I was threw
Looking out for me
Without responsibility
You tried, and I knew it
All along I knew what I was doing
The life I thought I had I lost it
I'm cleaning out my closet
How could I be so
Mercy on my soul

One more chance
One more chance
Just one (just one)
Just one (just one)
Just one (just one)
Just one (just one)

One more chance
One more chance
Just one (that's all I'm asking for)
Just one (that's all I'm asking for)
Just one (that's all I'm asking for)
Just one

I cried all day
Prayed all night
I'm willing to make all my wrongs right
I refuse to go to my grave
Knowing that I treated you this way
Give me one more chance.
