Lyrics
Forgive my nervous eyes.
So sensitive was I.
And I'll forgive the countless times When you over criticized.
And my hostility,
was never a part of me,
but just a safe response to your overbearing curiosity.
You were insane.
I followed right behind.
You pointed out the surest path for a boy to lose his mind.
But I forgive for what you put me through. You taught me how to question what's true. From all the pain you caused I finally grew. I forgive myself for loving you.
I forgive myself for loving you.
But it's over now.
There's nothing to explain.
Time has left a boy behind and there's no one left to blame.
I'll love you to this day,
But if you ever cross my path, I won't even look your way.
But I'll forgive for what you put me through. You taught me how to question what's true. From all the tears you caused I finally grew. I forgive myself for loving you.
I forgive myself for loving you.
