I was the one 

Who was undone, till you picked me up 

So how did you fall so far from it all 

Thought you were my rock 

So why do you push me away 



[chorus] 

I'm not gonna stand here and watch you go down 

I know that you're sinking, I won't let you drown 

And it just comes with being the man that I am 

So forgive me, forgive me for giving a damn 



Listen to me, I can't compete with this trip you're on 

So, if you decide to take that ride, I won't come along 

Cause I know just where it leads 



[chorus] 

I'm not gonna stand here and watch you go down 

I know that you're sinking, I won't let you drown 

And it just comes with being the man that I am 

So forgive me, forgive me for giving a damn 



I know you're scared and you just wanna run 

Cause I've been there 

I know where you're coming from 



[chorus] 

I'm not gonna stand here and watch you go down 

I know that you're sinking, I won't let you drown 

And it just comes with being the man that I am 

So forgive me, forgive me for giving a damn 



Forgive me for giving a damn
