Don't touch the pictures in the frames Don't leave evidence My mother says that I'm the one to blame I think that's evident So tell me how you hate me now again And how everything's my fault And in between all of your tears I won't tell you you're wrong If you forgive me now, then maybe I'll forgive myself And do my best to make right For the way that things worked out If you would tell me all the things that I've been doing wrong I'd find the ways that I could change And all the reasons you're gone Don't let me keep keeping you awake In all your dreams at night My father said that I'm still the one to blame And, God, I know he's right I tell you how I love you now again And how this is all my fault And in between all of my tears You keep yelling I'm wrong If you forgive me now, then maybe I'll forgive myself And do my best to make right For the way that things worked out If you would tell me all the things that I've been doing wrong I'd find the ways that I could change And all the reasons you're gone The reasons that you're gone So keep me holding on to hope that you'll change your mind And don't pretend that you now Just what I'm feeling inside And when it all settles down And we're alright again You'll have the memories of what we could have never been If you forgive me now Then maybe I'll forgive myself And do my best to make right For the way that things worked out If you would tell me all the things that I've been doing wrong I'd find the ways that I could change and all the reasons If you forgive me now Then maybe I'll forgive myself And do my best to make right For the way that things worked out If you would tell me all the things that I've been doing wrong I'd find the ways that I could change And all the reasons you're gone Then maybe I won't have to pray that I don't end up alone
