Day 11: Please Forgive Me

I was mid hospital stay when I wrote this song.

Being treated for severe anxiety and depression. It’s kind of a long story - but important enough to get it’s own blog post. If you want to read about the whole shebang - it’s HERE

PLEASE FORGIVE ME

I know I let you down 

I wasn’t there when you needed me round

I didn’t listen when you had so much to say

You knocked at my door and I turned you away 

When I know what you need and I kept it from you

Trying so hard to be what they needed me to

I was hearing your voice but not heading your call

Till it got to the point you made no sound at all

Please forgive me I know not what I do

I never believed I was abandoning you 

I was trying so hard, doing all the right things

But for letting you breathe and letting you sing

I didn’t mean to lie

When I said everything was fine 

I didn’t mean to be callous, I didn’t mean to be cruel

When I put everything first but you

Please forgive me I know not what I do

I never believed I was stifling you

I thought you could fly whilst clipping your wings

Not letting you breathe or letting you sing 

Please forgive me I know not what I do

I never believed I was abandoning you 

I was trying so hard, doing all the right things

But for letting you breathe and letting you sing

But I promise you this, whatever else life will bring 

I will harness your breath and be hearing you sing
