Album: Shakespearean Fish
from your lips came the words
I never thought I'd hear
so another layer of innocence disappears
for so long I've been waiting
for you to come to me
offering your most humble apology
but I stand before you now
all the wiser for the wear
and I see so clearly now
to find that you're not perfect
is to find I've been unfair
so I'm asking you to forgive me
and then one day it will all be forgotten
except for the knowing, we will go on
if you forgive me
I was blind to the only side that you could see
feeling forsaken,
feeling you no longer needed me
but I stand before you now
with my heart out on my sleeve
and I see so clearly now
we have left behind a sweet love
and a new love has come to be
so I'm asking you to forgive me
and then one day it will all be forgotten
except for the knowing, we will go on
if you forgive me
is our love all gone I have wondered lying
side by side in silence, tears running down
to the pillows so much to say but I can't seem to
say it, to say
that I'm asking you to forgive me
and then one day it will all be forgotten
except for the knowing, we will go on
if you forgive me
will you forgive me
please forgive me
