Pardon

Forgive me for all the hours
That ring out in your home
Just so you can cry
So you can cry my name
Forgive me for so much youth
For so many dreams destroyed
For this tick-tock of sadness
That beats day and night

Forgive me for all this pain
These memories that chain you
To a past so rich with joy
Forgive me if you love me
You see, I'm scared and I tremble
That I might never give back
All this love my heart received
When we were together

Forgive me with all my soul
For every tear that fell
Leaving marks all down your cheeks
That condemn me
Forgive me since I implore you
Like the god we adore
And to whom we return on our knees
Forgive me if you still love me
Forgive me if you still love me
Forgive me if you love me.
