For The Sake Of Love

I forgive, I forgive



I forgive all my friends who left me alone,

I forgive the wall that it had so many stones

I forgive the lord that he never sent a priest,

I forgive the hangman, I forgive the beast

I forgive the winter that it was so cold,

I forgive my father that he was so bold

I forgive the ashes that they couldn't stay flames,

I forgive the acid, I forgive the rains

I forgive james joyce that I couldn't read his books,

I forgive that you've never given back what you took

I forgive the puzzle that I didn't fit,

I forgive the shit that I couldn't write a hit

I forgive the dog that she never came home,

I forgive all the ways that they always lead to rome

I forgive the worm in the very last tree,

I forgive the girls who haven't forgiven me

I forgive inspiration when it came to late,

I forgive all the ladies when I had to wait

I forgive superman that I didn't stay clean,

I forgive, I forgive, anyone, anything

For the sake of love, for the sake of love

For the sake of love



I forgive the angels who could never take me high,

I forgive all my dreams that I couldn't really fly

I forgive the thought that I couldn't stop thinking,

I forgive all the drinks that I couldn't stop drinking

I forgive the clock that it didn't wake me up,

I forgive the driver, I forgive the cab

I forgive all the moments that they wouldn't stay,

I forgive all the years that they've flown away

I forgive the promises that they've been broken,

I forgive the curses that they have been spoken

I forgive all the prophets and the saints of the past,

I forgive the stars when they fell too fast

I forgive the joke that it didn't make me laugh,

I forgive desire that I had to starve

I forgive all the love for the sake of love,

I forgive all sakes for the fake above

For the sake of love, for the sake of love

For the sake of love
