Lyrics
Forgive me for leaving you out in the cold
For mocking the tale that you told
How could I be so blind to believe you would be fine?
The silence, your bloody fists stop knocking on my door
You cry for mercy expires
How could I be so blind to believe you would be fine?
Forgive me, I?m sorry
I wish that I had known it was freezing out there
But I was mesmerized by my warm fire
I wish that just once I?d peek out the window
Before your body was buried in the snow
Forgive me for righteously excusing all my sin
For desecrating trust where it begins
How could I be so blind to believe you would be fine?
The silence, your scurried thoughts assessing broader ways
These open doors all slamming in your face
How could I be so blind to believe you would be fine?
Forgive me I?m so sorry
Don?t fall asleep during the winter.
Don?t rest your feet until I have found you
