Forgive me this my one princess

forgive what's in my eyes

I hate that we should be suspect

to the weight of these goodbyes



And would you rather turn away

and fade into the sun

wipe the tears from my eyes and say

my darling, you're not the one



And this well proportioned sympathy

with it's standard churned out lies

has done so much to cover me

like the night obscures the sky



The rain obscures the tears that fell

because they're nothing you should see

witness this to live and tell 

burn my pain into your memory



Forgive me that I've held on too long

can't make it go away

forgive me that I'm not as strong

can't make it go away



Forgive the way it tortures me

can't make it go away

touch my hands and set me free

please make it go away



I witness this infidelity

with the cameras in my eyes

I see you with such clarity

God, I wish that I was blind



I see you with these camera eyes

I see you in his arms

I watch the thrill that's in your eyes

God, I wish that I was wrong
