Forgiveness
Bret Michaels Lyrics

He works two jobs now just to pay the bills
Despite being financially strained, he pushes through by working two jobs

Honeymoon is over seems love has lost its thrill
Their relationship has lost its charm and excitement

He blames her and God knows that she blames him
Both of them attribute the problems in their relationship to the other person

Loves not about killing time this ain't no way to live
Love is not just about passing time but rather living a fulfilling life

Just can't up and walk away
Leaving the relationship abruptly is not an option for him

Knows that wouldn't be right
He realizes that leaving without fixing things would be unfair and irresponsible

Instead he hangs out at the local bar
He drinks to escape his problems

Drowns his problems every night
He uses alcohol to avoid dealing with his issues

He says forgive me, (forgive me) forgive me
He admits his fault and asks for forgiveness

I think I'm losing you
He's afraid of losing his partner

He comes home late falls into bed and closes his eyes
He's too exhausted to spend any quality time with his partner

He pretends to sleep while she lies there and cries
He's indifferent to her emotions and pretends not to notice her pain

Sometimes she gets so angry she just wants to scream
She's frustrated with their situation and has an outburst of emotion

A prince no longer charming it wasn't like this in her dreams
Their once-romantic relationship has lost its spark

Someday she wants a change of life
She desires a different lifestyle from the one they currently have

Get in that car and leave but deep down she loves him and the kids
Despite her frustrations, she still loves her partner and the family they have built together

She cries forgive me, (forgive me) forgive me
She admits her fault and asks for forgiveness

It all seemed so simple then
Their relationship used to be uncomplicated

Where the hell did it go wrong
They're trying to figure out where their relationship started to deteriorate

Where's it start and where's it end
They're trying to find the beginning and end of their relationship issues

Lets both keep holding on
They're trying to hold on to their relationship and not give up

One day it hit him hard
He realizes the seriousness of their problems

Laid his head in her hands
He turns to her for comfort and support

Looked up said, I don't want to lose you I hope you understand
He expresses how much he values their relationship and hopes she understands

So he looked into her eyes said this is what we'll do
He tries to come up with a solution for their problems

If you give a little bit baby then I'll give a little bit too
He proposes that they both compromise and work on their issues together

And they said forgive me, (forgive me) forgive me
They ask for each other's forgiveness

I still believe in you
They still have faith in each other and their relationship

Let love pull us through
They hope that their love will help overcome their problems

We'll take it day by day
They plan to take things one day at a time and work on their issues slowly

'Cause I'm a never gonna walk away
He promises to never give up on their relationship, despite the challenges they face
