forgive me
August Ends Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Down the hill alone
So much has changed
with you on your own
I need to know
you feel about everything we've shared

There's nothing I can do, won't remind of you
There's nothing I can do, won't remind of you

Forgive me if I don't wanna stay and drown
and now all that I have it stays as faded memories
So give me one last kiss it's all I want
Say goodbye as friends or walk away

Knew before I heard the news
you couldn't last this long
Say no more
it hurts too much
to hear those words

There's nothing I can do, won't remind of you
There's nothing I can do, won't remind of you
Forgive me if I don't wanna stay and drown
and now all that I have it stays as faded memories
So give me one last kiss it's all I want
Say goodbye as friends or walk away

Forgive me if I don't wanna stay and drown
and now all that I have it stays as faded memories
So give me one last kiss it's all I want
Say goodbye as friends or walk away...

OR WALK AWAY!!!
