CAN YOU FORGIVE ME
OJO 2004

I am so sorry that I left you behind
I knew that you loved me
but still I wanted to be free
and to run with the boys
that were just like me
playing around with young girl's minds
promising love
and suddenly draw some blood

But as you remember
I was kind to you
I did not take your virginity
and a little piece of your heart
was all that you lost

I am so sorry that I made you cry so hard
I felt that you were different
and that was the reason why
I left you behind alone
I did not want to drag you
all the way down
or take your pride
and let the boys talk about you
all over town

I am truly sorry that I broke your heart
but there was nothing else for me to do
I liked you a lot but it was not love I felt
so how could I stay
when I knew it would finally destroy you

I am so sorry that I left you without a word
but what is done is done I can't change it
and if you think it over
you will understand that I
escaped only to save you
from a totally messed up life maybe forever
hanging too long around me
I am so sorry
I hope that you sometime can forgive me
and that you understand that I was
a wild man who just gave a damn
most of the time
