As morning breaks and I awake, my eyes open wide
To see the sunlight melting all the dreams I had last night
A memory flashes through the cobwebs of my tangled mind
In search of clues on what to do to leave the past behind

How can I help you forgive me?
How can I ever forget you?
Wild thoughts of you run through my mind
Like rivers to the sea
How can I help you forgive me?

Darkness falls and lonely calls and I'm alone again
Wishing I could turn around and see you walking in
Then I lay me down to weep and wonder what to do
To let you know I love you so, I never meant to hurt you

How can I help you forgive me?
How can I ever forget you?
Wild thoughts of you run through my mind
Like rivers to the sea
How can I help you forgive me?

How can I help you forgive me?
How can I ever forget you?
Wild thoughts of you run through my mind
Like rivers to the sea
How can I help you forgive me?
