You gave me every right to love you now you prefer that I leave you alone

You push me away from you and every time you do

You're giving me the right to do wrong

You don't seem to notice that I need you if you care at all it's never shown

Each time you wound my pride by pushing me aside

You're giving me the right to do wrong

By causing me to turn to nameless faces for a love that I can't find at home

By forcing me to look in other places you're giving me the right to do wrong

Perhaps the day will come when you want me

But you'll find the love I had for you is gone

Then while I'll live in shame you can share the blame

Forgiving me the right to do wrong forgiving me the right to do wrong
