Forgiveness Lyrics - Beauty & Ruin - Bob Mould

I come to you to ask for your forgiveness 

I need to lift you up before I fall 

I'll comfort you, I know it makes a difference 

When nothing else is making sense at all 

I won't leave a message, I've bothered you enough 

It might be best to take some time off 

I've left for the weekend, I let the neighbors know 

They see strangers come and go 

I know I should have asked for your permission 

I guess I shouldn't play this stupid game 

But if you put yourself in my position 

You'll see I'm not the only one to blame 

Plants on the back porch, water them tonight 

Make sure to keep them in the sunlight 

If you neglect them, they will never grow 

Sometimes plants don't come back 

And you won't know 

I don't know 

They won't grow 

So don't go 

I come to you to ask for your forgiveness 

I need to lift you up before I fall 

I'll comfort you, I know it makes a difference 

And nothing else
