I forgive, I forgive

I forgive all my friends who left me alone,
I forgive the wall that it had so many stones
I forgive the lord that he never sent a priest,
I forgive the hangman, I forgive the beast
I forgive the winter that it was so cold,
I forgive my father that he was so bold
I forgive the ashes that they couldn't stay flames,
I forgive the acid, I forgive the rains
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 inspiration when it came to late,
I forgive all the ladies when I had to wait
I forgive superman that I didn't stay clean,
I forgive, I forgive, anyone, anything
For the sake of love, for the sake of love
For the sake of love

I forgive the angels who could never take me high,
I forgive all my dreams that I couldn't really fly
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
