Tossing Copper truth be told

Select language to translate this lyric

There's nothing good within me
if I'm honest.
If I am honest,
there are times
I will try
to dress up all my darkness
and make it seem like
it was light all along,
but it's a lie.
Truth be told, I'm nothing
on my own.
The only thing I know for sure
is that I don't
know anything
to be sure.
If you only knew what I've been prone to do,
you'd run far and fast away
from me.
Oh God,
hear my plea 'cause
all I see is
this darkness that is buried
within me.
So darling, don't dare trust me
if I say
I'm okay.
If truth be told I do the things
that I hate,
oh, everyday.
So, if ever
I may think myself to be more than a wretched man,
forgive me,
please don't let me
ruin myself once again with these chains that I cannot sever.
I'll do whatever
it takes just to make sure my head stays above
this water that is filling
my lungs.
If only
I could do the
good I want to do,
I'd leave this place forever,
and I would never
turn back around
just to find
this old form,
'cause I'm broken and I'm begging for
something more.
