[Verse 1]
I'm one step from a breakdown
Two steps from being saved
Just try to see this through
I'm three steps from this nightmare
And four steps from the door
The rest is up to you

[Chorus]
Pardon me while I just
Turn my back and walk away
Pardon me if I can't listen
To the things you say
Pardon me if I can't fake it
While you still believe
Pardon me

[Verse 2]
I'm one step from forgiveness
And two steps from my grave
We're all just passing through
Three steps from redemption
Four from the devil's door
On a path that leads to you

[Chorus]
Pardon me while I just
Turn my back and walk away
Pardon me if I can't listen
To the things you say
Pardon me if I can't fake it
While you still believe
Pardon me
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Pardon me while I just
Turn my back and walk away
Pardon me if I can't listen
To the things you say
Pardon me if I can't fake it
While you still believe
Pardon me

[Outro]
I'm two steps from salvation
But I'm only taking one
Pardon me
