Please Forgive Me
Goose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A constant headache, time to think on the floor
You say you miss me while you tell me you're bored
Gathered up my hope, my heart on my sleeve
But I know all I think about is you in
All the really silly things I do
You gathered up my hope to drop it and leave
I guess it was just me
You ask me how I feel
I can't feel a thing at all
Feeling numb became so normal
Without alcohol
It's kinda funny how things just all work out
But I stay contemplating every moment's escape route
But I hate that all I think about is you and
I can't shake how you flipped out of the blue and
You gathered up my hope to drop it and leave
I guess it was just me
It's kinda funny how things just all work out
I'll need the patience to really get over you
You gave me too much hope that we'd start something new
We barely made it past a few weeks before you knew
It wasn't worth it for you
But I hate that all I think about is you and
I can't shake how you left out of the blue




You gathered up my hope to watch it and leave
I guess it was just me
