I picked myself above the ground
I had an epiphany, babe, a realization
Babe I knew that I couldn’t stay down
I had to find a way to be brave

I’ll forgive you friend
Forgive me and we can be in love again

We was children, have lived our lives since then
I’ve grown strong enough and I got wise
Emptiness has opened up my eyes
Now I see that I want you back in my life

I’ll forgive you friend
Forgive me and we can be in love again

And if your heart thinks I’m a crock of shit
Then I must submit and you can follow it
And I will follow you, my love
I’ll just be a friend
Although I know that means I’ll never see you again

I’ll forgive you friend
Forgive me and we can be in love again
I’ll forgive you friend
Forgive me

I’m not asking you to forget
I’m only asking to be forgiven
So keep your memories good or bad
And your head, I don’t care about that
It’s your heart I wanna live in

I’ll forgive you friend
Forgive me and we can be in love again

I picked myself above the ground
I had an epiphany, babe, a realization
Babe I knew that I couldn’t stay down
I had to find a way to be brave

I’ll forgive you friend
Forgive me and we can be in love again
I’ll forgive you friend
Forgive me
