Forgive
Sharks in your Mouth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m trapped in my own lies
And I'm trying to do the right
I can′t pretend that you're still here
Nothing can fill this hole inside of me

I feel like you deserve someone
Better than me
I hate what I put you through
And this hurts intensely when I breathe

I wish I could go back and change
What I did wrong
You know, I am strong
But I can't forgive myself for what I′ve done

And I know this is the last time
That I′m looking in your eyes
It's hard to say goodbye
Those feelings makes me feel so dead inside

Just promise me that you won′t forget
All the smiles and how we met
I have to let you go
You will never see my face again

There's no turning back
I missed my second chance
And I deserve the pain, the tears, the scars, the demons of regret
Just promise me that you won′t forget

I'm trapped in my own lies
And I′m trying to do the right
I can't pretend that you're still here
Nothing can fill this hole inside of me

And I know this is the last time
That I′m looking in your eyes
It′s hard to say goodbye
Those feelings makes me feel so dead inside

Just promise me that you won't forget
All the smiles and how we met
I have to let you go
You will never see my face again

There′s no turning back
I missed my second chance
And I deserve the pain, the tears, the scars, the demons of regret
Just promise me that you won't forget

And In sorrow
I′m begging you to
FORGIVE ME

Can't you see I am on my knees
I′m begging you to come back to me

And In sorrow (And In sorrow)
I'm begging you to
FORGIVE ME





Can't you see I am on my knees
I′m begging you to come back to me
