Forgive Me
The Saint And The Dead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I've broke your heart 1,000 times each way
And I know it makes you feel like you and I was a mistake
You're so tired of empty promises and sorry's
Just know I tried even though we parted ways

So I pray for forgiveness cause I'm learning to forgive me
And God as my witness I'm tryna find my inner peace
Cause nobody's perfect
Reminding myself every day
Cause nobody's perfect
But who wants perfect anyways

I wanted love so bad I hid my pain under lies
The worst kind of death is when you lose someone to pride
Don't let my flaws be the reason that you change
Just guard your heart it won't lead you astray

So I pray for forgiveness cause I'm learning to forgive me
And God as my witness I'll never let my history repeat
Nobody's perfect
I'm learning to accept my mistakes
Cause nobody's perfect
But who wants perfect anyways

Even though we weren't forever
What we had ill always remember
I hope one day you find it within you to see the good in me

Im so thankful for forgiveness cause I finally forgave me
And God as my witness I see you every night in my dreams
Nobody's perfect
I'm recognizing that's ok




Cause nobody's perfect
But you're still perfect in your own way
