Forgive a Failure, Friend

We hung out all day
Had fun all night
Thinking everything
Would be alright
(That's never enough)
I never told you anything
Never shared a secret
Never trusted you
(That way)

But as we stand here today
About to go our separate ways
(I'm dying to say)

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

(I never defended you)

We'll lie to ourselves
And promise
To
Keep in touch
(But never will!)

And someday
You'll forget
Me
And I'll do the same
To
You
We'll drift apart
(Further away)

And maybe you
Will see my name
In the
Paper
And remember
What we
Used to play
But I'll be
Just a thought
(Not all you've got)

I'll be dying (inside)
So slowly
(Regret) regret
(Go away)

Go away


I'm sorry

I'm sorry

I never defended you
(Enough)
I never defended you
(Ever)
I'm a failure
(As a friend I failed you)
This
Is the
End
(I'm sorry to death)

There were days
When they stabbed you in the back
And you weren't there
I never stopped them
(Instead)
I joined them

I hated you
I hate me more

(And everyday
I wish)
I could

Turn back the time
And stop myself

But no such thing
As a time machine
(Regret go away!)

I never defended you
Never defended you

Maybe one day
So very far away
I'll have the courage
To come to your door

And spill my guts out
For you to see
A secret (a secret)
I'll
Tell you

(I never defended you)
Ever

And you'll
Hate me for a day
Hate me for a year
Hate me until
You feel
Better

Go ahead
Do the same to me
I don't care
Let's call it even

Hate me
Until
You feel better
I don't care
I'll feel better when
This is over
(Even)
Again

Hate me for a day
Hate me for a year
Until you feel
Better

I'm dying to say
I'm sorry
(I'm sorry)
I'm dying to turn
Back
Time

I never defended you
(I'm a)
I never defended you
(I'm a)
Failure...
