You ask for forgiveness
For being untrue
Well "suffer in silence" is all that I do
Thought you were an angel
High as a cloud
Your ladder shining
Squalid and proud

Now all that we have
Is buried in blue
You ask for forgiveness
I can't give it to you

You ask for forgiveness
You cry for relief
Had every intention
Of keeping it brief
Now wither and wry
In her chain of fools
You can't ask for forgiveness
And then make up the rules

Now all that we had
Is buried in blue
You ask for forgiveness
I won't give it to you
