Divine Comedy The Edward The Confessor Lyrics

Edward The Confessor Lyrics

I'm so sorry 
Please forgive me
For knowing that I'm wrong but insisting
I'm right
For wanting everything to be either black or white
For
wallowing in self-pity, confessing all my sins 
For studying my thoughts
till my head caves in
For all the things I've said but regret so much now

For all the things I should have said but I couldn't somehow
For all the
times I've meant them 
And I've known them for so long
But I still get
endings wrong  

I'm so sorry 
Please forgive me

For trying to
be all things to all men
For shelving my objectives time and time
again
For looking for perfection in everything I do
When really I need
only look as far as you
For demanding to be loved by someone who 
Then
dispatching quietly over a pint of beer
Well yeah, I did it without malice

And I did it without shame
But I did it just the same

I'm so
sorry 
Please forgive me

For coming home from work in the middle of
the night
For waking you up with the bathroom light
For wanting to touch
you with these cold cold hands 
For wanting to have you just because I can

For always running from an argument
When I ought to stand and fight

For suppressing my emotions
'cause I'm too goddamn polite 
and then
for thinking that by simply saying sorry
I could suddenly make everything
alright

I'm so sorry please forgive me...
I'm so sorry please forgive
me...
