Forgive
J.C. Olivier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby are you listening
I'm an asshole at the best of times
So why the hell you with me
I treated you so badly
You let me meet the family
Shook hands with your daddy
That man was hella classy
Tonight I'm in your city yeah
Toxic relationship
Yeah that's all we know
Girl you're holding on
While I'm letting go
And I tear you apart
You keep coming back
Girl I broke your heart
Then I blew your back
We don't know when to stop
We keep on pushing till we break
Arguments that need the cops
You got anger on your face
You caught me cheating again
That's an honest mistake
You should just end it all
But you don't got what it takes
Cause you love me dearly
And it hurts your soul
I was young and dumb
But know I've learnt and grown
It won't happen again but you don't trust me no
And it's hurts my core so
Are you ready to forgive me
Baby are you listening
I'm an asshole at the best of times
So why the hell you with me
I treated you so badly
You let me meet the family
Shook hands with your daddy
That man was hella classy
So baby just forgive me
Tonight I'm in your city yeah
I just wanna link up again
But we no longer friends
Cause I've ruined it
I had no common sense
So I understand if you don't wanna chill
Cause the shit I did to you yeah it makes me ill
And In hindsight I might've gone and lost my ways
You were holding on and I would press replay
I did all this shit that always made you mad
Every weekend I'd repeat it had to face the facts
I messed up a good thing god just take me back
Let me change me actions and re draw the map
No direction I was clueless I was lost as sea
You were the one that I would grow with and then share my seed
Are you ready to forgive me
Baby are you listening
I'm an asshole at the best of times
So why the hell you with me
I treated you so badly
You let me meet the family
Shook hands with your daddy
That man was hella classy
So baby just forgive me
Tonight I'm in your city yeah

Line by Line Meaning
I know I've been wrong, girl, acting like I did
I acknowledge that I have made mistakes, especially in the way I treated you
Taking you for granted, treating you like a kid
I realize that I have not given you the respect and maturity you deserve
Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me, forgive me, forgive me
I am asking for your forgiveness multiple times to emphasize how sorry I am
'Cause girl, you're the reason I work my life way
You are the motivation behind my hard work and commitment in life
When you see me coming, you turn your back the other way
I know you are avoiding me, and it hurts me to see you do that
We played and laughed at everyone who had to pay
Together, we had a carefree attitude and enjoyed making fun of others' misfortunes
I hope and pray, you'll be back again with me someday
I genuinely wish and pray for a second chance with you, hoping that we can be together again
I don't know the reason, it's always been so hard
My inability to fully understand why we fell apart is causing me significant pain and struggle
I only know I'll miss you, 'specially now we're apart
I am aware that I will feel your absence now that we are no longer together, and it hurts me deeply
