                                        I know that I've hurt you
                                              in so many ways
                                          In things that I do and
                                            in things that I say
                                          Just give me a chance 
                                          to prove I can change
                                            Let's just start over
                                             and turn the page

                                                     Chorus

                                          Please let me make up
                                            for all that I've done
                                        Remember the good days
                                             when we were one
                                          You know I still love you
                                          and that I have changed
                                         So please let me help you
                                                to turn the page

                
                                         I remember that first day
                                               the day I met you
                                      You were so scared of loving 
                                             and being loved too
                                         You said you could never
                                               trust a man again
                                        cause when trust is broken
                                               it never will mend

                                                       chorus


                                                So now I beg you
                                           please give me a chance
                                              Let's go out together
                                             for a dinner and dance
                                              Just like the old days
                                                like we used to do
                                            Let me prove it all over
                                                  my love for you

                                           Looks like my persistence 
                                               had an effect on you
                                            You said you remember
                                              I have some good too
                                              You said I'm forgiven
                                             you let go of your rage
                                           You said let's start all over
                                                Let's turn the page
     
                                                   Chorus repeat
                                                          fade

Well written, John. The second verse is the key. In reality, once trust has been broken, there is no going back! I know from experience. Once you find out you've been lied to and cheated on, you never forget. Nobody likes being a fool! It's devastating to one's self confidence. You can't put broken bricks back together.

I hear you, and for most people that is the case, some however have an unusual gift to forgive the erring partner and sometimes it works, other times it's deception again, such a tragedy. Better to be loyal and faithful, then these situations are avoided altogether! Thanks for the read and comment!
