Please Forgive Me
Student Rick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've held on for so long
And there's nothing more to give
I've made my mind up
I'm gonna live my life again
I know I still love you
But there's nothing you can do
The right things are always
The hardest things to do

When I laid awake last night
I thought I heard you cry
Did I do something wrong?
Please forgive me
When I look into your eyes
It's pain you cannot hide
You have to carry on please forgive me

I've held on for so long
And there's nothing more to give
I've made my mind up
I'm gonna live my life again
I know I still love you
But there's nothing you can do
The right things are always
The hardest things to do

When I laid awake last night
I thought I heard you cry
Did I do something wrong?
Please forgive me
When I look into your eyes
It's pain you cannot hide
You have to carry on please forgive me

When I laid awake last night
I thought I heard you cry
Did I do something wrong?
Please forgive me
When I look into your eyes




It's pain you cannot hide
You have to carry on please forgive me
