Please Forgive Me
Gray David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way, ah
When you look at me that way
Throw a stone
And watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into that mystery, ah
Deep into some mystery
I got half a mind
To scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I will never have to
Lose you girl
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye
Whoa I
Whoa I
Whoa I
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do
Feels like lightning
Running through my veins
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you
Every time I look at you

@@guntervonhagen1485 Hey mate, thanks for your response. I had to look up what CJD was... that is rough to say the least. If you don't have a bible get one asap. Start with the gospels (matthew, mark, luke and John). If we are right with God we no longer have to fear death. I will be praying for you daily.

I played this album non stop when I was at home with two beautiful children and realised I was trapped in a toxic marriage it saw me through the hardest of times .
@Skindoggiedog
If being trapped in a 'toxic' marriage is a price you must pay to raise kids in a two-parent household, then you do that.
You're the one who picked the man.
You make the best of it until those kids are raised.
@AWhileHanlin
@@Skindoggiedog Nonsense advice. All proper research shows children are better of away from tension and conflict or lovelessness.
@chrislong8559
What does research say about single mother households? When it comes to criminals and predators? I know do you?
