Forgive Me Tonight

Forgive me tonight
Let the rain wash the hard words away
Forgive me tonight
I was wrong in a beautiful place

I left your message sitting blue
Like silence was a thing I had to prove
I wore my pride like Sunday shoes
Clean outside, but breaking through
The bedside lamp on your side stays on
Like the light could bring you home by dawn

Now I'm outside your gate
Not to win, not to fight
Just to say what I should've said
When love was still light

Forgive me tonight
Let the rain wash the hard words away
Forgive me tonight
I was wrong in a beautiful place

Tonight
If your heart still has one open door
Leave it there, I will walk to it slow

I know your mother heard the way I spoke
The room went quiet and something broke
I drove past the gate again today
Almost stopped and drove away
Your pride is a blanket with holes all through
It never kept me warm like you

That lamp on your side of the bed
I'm the one still leaving it on
Your ringtone still on my phone
Still the song we chose
And I sleep on the couch
The side of light for someone gone

Forgive me tonight
Let the rain wash the hard words away
Forgive me tonight

I taped my sorry to your kitchen door today
Tell her, tell her, tell her, tell her, tell her, tell her
Forgive me tonight

Forgive me tonight
