forgive you is something that i never did

you know that between these lifetimes
the sun is hovering high for you
and there i am holding up the sky
one last good-bye,
truth for true
you know i would for you

oh, come see why i've fallen
and where i've come back from
and stay to understand my name
you know i would for you
