Can You Forgive Me
Would it help to say I’m sorry
about the misery I brought?
I never wanted to hurt you,
whether you believe that or not.
I’m not happy seeing you cry,
fueling anxiety’s climb.
And I’ll disappear from your life
if you say, I'm wasting my time.
You must believe that I acted
like I did because I love you.
And I thought if I felt that way,
naturally, you loved me too.
I never thought for a moment
that you'd fall for another man.
And when I saw him kissing you,
I freaked out, and he up and ran.
I can't say I'm sorry he left,
but I'm sorry I made him flee.
And I’m begging you on my knees,
please darling, can you forgive me?
