Oh, a TV went off like three day old milk
They shut this town down better than most
And it always was less of an idea and more of a boast
Oh, you're burning in the bloom of life
'Til you're powder in the grave
Or you're pounding on the counter begging for more
'Til you evaporate
You'd forgive her anything
If you look like you, my pretty miss
I wonder where you are tonight
When this place becomes pitiless
Repeat intro
Oh, I couldn't sleep, but I can't complain
(Oh, she offered it all but she forgot to say when)
Oh, this won't hurt a bit, oh, this won't hurt again
When the roof comes down and the walls move in
Oh, I didn't know it could feel like that
When your face turned away and the day turned black
And the rain fell like a curtain
Oh, it's my turn to begin
To forgive her anything
You'd forgive her anything
If you knew what I have known
You'd forgive her anything
(It's forgiven and forgotten)
So where did all my pride go?
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You'd forgive her anything
If you knew what I have known
I've been given and forgotten
More than you will ever know
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
