Please Forgive Me

Here I am between a bar stool
And your memory.
And the more I drink,
The stronger it becomes.
In this game of love we're playing,
It's all over.
I'm the loser, so I guess
That means you won.

All my life I tried to find
The simple answers.
But there doesn't seem to be
An easy way.
So I'll sit right here till
Happy hour is over,
And I'll drink and cry
The emptiness away.

The only thing I ever could believe in
Said good-bye and now the happiness is gone.
My mistakes were just too much
For her to live through,
Who can blame her if she'd rather be alone?

Take good care and keep the smiles
I once gave you.
You're a beauty and they look
So good on you.
Save your heart until you find
The one you need, dear.
Don't fall in love until you know
The love is true.

No one knows why sometimes love
Can't last forever.
But I know it's always been
That way for me.
I just hope and pray your own luck
Turns out better.
I accept the way I knew
It had to be.

I'll still love you till this lonely life is over,
And someday you will forget the pain I caused.
I never meant to hurt you, please believe me,
If I know you do then I'll survive the loss.
