Can't you forgive you

can't you forgive you

Can’t you forgive you

Will you ever be able to have
Any peace from within your soul
Knowing that amends haven’t been made
Therefore keeping you from being completely whole
Can’t you forgive you.

Will you ever be able to get over
The guilt that’s held you so tight
How many more lonely days
Not to mention sleepless nights
Can’t you forgive you.

Will you ever be able to feel emotions
That you kept hidden inside for years
Not so much as a word have you spoken
How long are you going to hold back the tears
Can’t you forgive you.

Will you ever be able to get over
The pain deep within your heart
Don’t live in the past look to the future
Why don’t you make a new start
Can’t you forgive you.

Will you ever be able to say
I’m sorry what I did was wrong
Forty years have passed us by
All eight children are now grown
Can’t you forgive you.
