ALPHAVILLE - FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE lyrics

rate me

i forgive, i forgive

i forgive all my friends who left me alone, i forgive the wall that it had so many stones

i forgive the lord that he never sent a priest, i forgive the hangman, i forgive the beast

i forgive the winter that it was so cold, i forgive my father that he was so bold

i forgive the ashes that they couldn't stay flames, i forgive the acid, i forgive the rains

i forgive james joyce that i couldn't read his books, i forgive that you've never given back what you took

i forgive the puzzle that i didn't fit, i forgive the shit that i couldn't write a hit

i forgive the dog that she never came home, i forgive all the ways that they always lead to rome

i forgive the worm in the very last tree, i forgive the girls who haven't forgiven me

i forgive inspiration when it came to late, i forgive all the ladies when i had to wait

i forgive superman that i didn't stay clean, i forgive, i forgive, anyone, anything

for the sake of love, for the sake of love

for the sake of love

i forgive the angels who could never take me high, i forgive all my dreams that i couldn't really fly

i forgive the thought that i couldn't stop thinking, i forgive all the drinks that i couldn't stop drinking

i forgive the clock that it didn't wake me up, i forgive the driver, i forgive the cab

i forgive all the moments that they wouldn't stay, i forgive all the years that they've flown away

i forgive the promises that they've been broken, i forgive the curses that they have been spoken

i forgive all the prophets and the saints of the past, i forgive the stars when they fell too fast

i forgive the joke that it didn't make me laugh, i forgive desire that i had to starve

i forgive all the love for the sake of love, i forgive all sakes for the fake above

for the sake of love, for the sake of love

for the sake of love
