Forgive Me

I don’t know where to turn
I don’t know where to hide
Why can’t I ever learn?
Why have I lied?

I didn’t mean to hurt you
I wanted to protect you from the truth
I just didn’t know what to do

I hate myself for what I did
I hope you can forgive
I hate myself for the hurtful things I said

You can’t ignore the fact that I’m still here
By myself, with nothing but the harp unstrung
Washing away that old fear
With the frequent tear
