Forgive
Gnash Lyrics

I know you're mad when you can't even look at me in my eyes
I understand that you're angry with me, and it hurts me to see you can't even meet my gaze.

And when you say you're sad, I need you better, make it worse when I try
I can't seem to make you happy when you're upset, no matter how hard I try, I end up making things worse.

But when you say nothing, it's like you stuck a knife in my side
Your silence hurts me even more than your anger or sadness, it's like a sharp pain in my heart.

I know the feeling, it's not easy being stuck with me tonight
I empathize with you, it must be difficult dealing with me in this moment.

To make things right, these things take time
I understand that repairing our relationship won't happen overnight, it will require patience and effort.

So hold me, hold me 'til the river runs dry
I want you to embrace me tightly until our tears have dried up.

I'm holding, holding onto you for dear life
I'm desperate to hold onto you and not lose you, I need you in my life.

'Cause I never know the words to say, but you forgive me anyway
I struggle to find the right words to express myself, but you forgive me even when I fall short.

Even though we both know I'm the reason you cry
I acknowledge my own faults and how they've caused you pain and tears.

Do you need a break, need some space, need to change your mind ways?
Do you require some time on your own, some distance from me, and possibly a change of heart?

Should I get away, get a place for a couple of days?
Perhaps I should take some time to myself, to give you space and let things settle down.

I'm afraid if I change, you won't look at me the same
I worry that if I do change, you won't accept me or see me as the same person.

I wanna be your only shoulder when you have a bad day
I want to be there for you and support you when you're feeling down or troubled.

We've been arguing more than we usually do
Our fights have become more frequent than what we're used to, and it's not healthy for our relationship.

I know I deserve what you're putting me through
I understand that I'm responsible for the pain you're causing me to feel.

If you mean what you say and you want me to go
If you truly want me to leave and end things between us,

If that's what you want, then I want you to know
I want you to understand that I respect your decision, and I'm willing to accept the consequences.

I'll stay the night if that's alright
If it's okay with you, I'd like to spend the night together, and try to work things out.

So hold me and hold me 'til the day that I die
I want you to hold me tightly and never let go, until we're both old and grey, and our love transcends time.
