i've finally thrown some light
i won't make that stand
i won't ask you why
i just hope you know now
i'm still as stupid, still as blind

if you don't hear forgiveness, watch my mouth
i know all this adds up, i just don't know how
if you don't have the will to breathe, better start now
better start now
i know what's all washed up will all wash out

more by luck than judgement
seems we've kept acquainted
always absent, never present
must have tried your patience
i just take your best intentions
and complicate them

if you don't hear forgiveness, watch my mouth
i know this all adds up, i just don't know how
if you don't have the will to breathe, better start now
better start now
i know what's all washed up will all wash out

take your hands off her, why can't you tell?
you know and i know
you only try to console yourself
please don't touch her, that's enough now -
she knows you too well
don't ask her to sympathise, not now
not now, not now, not now, no
