I will never let you go
And you couldn't ever know
I can't let these memories keep me up at midnight anymore.
You can never bring me home
So I'll drive home alone
I can't take these shortcuts because there's no road there anymore.
And when I become a father
I'll think of all that you taught me
And I'll be proud
And I will forgive you
After all of these years
I want to talk to you
After all of these tears we can go back inside
Because I'm sick of always having to fight
And I will forgive you
So I can sleep through the night
The sun rows across the sky
The moon's tears fill the river when it is dry
The push & pull of this force brings me to your front door one more time
When I knock there's no one there
There hasn't been someone for all of these years
But still somehow I feel your presence deep inside like you are here
And when I grow older than you
I'll cherish time between us two
And then I'll rest just like you
And I will forgive you
After all of these years
I want to talk to you
After all of these tears we can go back inside
Because I'm sick of always having to fight
And I will forgive you
So I can sleep through the night
And I will forgive you
Despite what you have done
I want to talk to you
Even though you are gone I will talk to the sky
Because I'm sick having to think of our fights
And I will forgive you
So you can sleep in the light
And I will forgive you after all of these years
I will forgive you
