The Divine Comedy Edward The Confessor lyrics

I'm so sorry
Please forgive me

For knowing that I'm wrong but insisting I'm right
For wanting everything to be either black or white
For wallowing in self pity, confessing all my sins
For studying my thoughts until my head caves in

For all the things I've said but regret so much now
For all the things I should have said but I couldn't somehow
For all the times I've met them and I've known them for so long
But I still get their names wrong

I'm so sorry
Please forgive me

For trying to be all things to all men
For shelving my objectives time and time again
For looking for perfection in everything I do
When really I need only look as far as you

For demanding to be loved by someone new each year
And dispatching them quietly over a pint of beer

Well yeah, I did it without malice and I did it without shame
But I did it just the same

And I'm so sorry
Please forgive me

For coming home from work in the middle of the night
For waking you up with the bathroom light
For wanting to touch you with these cold, cold hands
For wanting to have you just because I can

For always running from an argument when I ought to stand and fight
For suppressing my emotions 'cause I'm too goddamned polite
And then for thinking that by simply saying sorry
I could suddenly make everything alright

I'm so sorry
Please forgive me
I'm so sorry
Please forgive me
