I forgive james joyce that i couldn't read his books, i forgive that you've never given back what you took

I forgive the puzzle that i didn't fit, i forgive the shit that i couldn't write a hit

I forgive the dog that she never came home, i forgive all the ways that they always lead to rome

I forgive the worm in the very last tree, i forgive the girls who haven't forgiven me

I forgive the thought that i couldn't stop thinking, i forgive all the drinks that i couldn't stop drinking

I forgive the clock that it didn't wake me up, i forgive the driver, i forgive the cab

I forgive all the moments that they wouldn't stay, i forgive all the years that they've flown away

I forgive the promises that they've been broken, i forgive the curses that they have been spoken

I forgive all the prophets and the saints of the past, i forgive the stars when they fell too fast

I forgive the joke that it didn't make me laugh, i forgive desire that i had to starve

I forgive all the love for the sake of love, i forgive all sakes for the fake above

For the sake of love, for the sake of love

For the sake of love
