[Verse 1]
Sometimes I slip back
To wounds that don't belong
I hear one little silence
And I make it all wrong
You stand there with open hands
And I come in with my fear
I know that ain't your story
But it feels too near
[Pre-Chorus]
I see it now
I bite before I breathe
You never gave me reason
Still I act like you leave
[Chorus]
Forgive me babe
Forgive me babe
I love you hard
I get afraid
Forgive me babe
Forgive me babe
You proved your love
I still misread
[Verse 2]
You ain't my old heartbreak
You ain't those broken names
You don't hide in the shadows
You don't play mind games
Still my past comes loud sometimes
And it talks too fast
I throw old stones at new glass
Then I hate the mess I cast
[Pre-Chorus]
I see it now
I hear how cruel I sound
You hold me through the storm
While I tear us down
[Chorus]
Forgive me babe
Forgive me babe
I love you hard
I get afraid
Forgive me babe
Forgive me babe
You proved your love
I still misread
[Bridge]
If I reach for a fight
Pull me back to your truth
If I start naming ghosts
Remind me what you do
You stay
You stay
You stay right here with me
[Chorus]
Forgive me babe
Forgive me babe
I love you hard
I get afraid
Forgive me babe
Forgive me babe
You proved your love
I still misread
Forgive me babe
Forgive me babe
I'll let your love
Be what I need
