lyrics for
Forgive Her Anything

Why is the radio so brutally cheerful
This endless happiness overdose
That it always was less of an idea and more of a boast
Now you're burning in the bloom of life
Until you're powder in the grave
Or you're pounding on the counter begging for more
Till you evaporate

Chorus:
You'd forgive her anything
If you could win back her tender kiss
You wonder where she is tonight
As this town becomes pitiless

Well, you couldn't sleep, you don't want to think anymore
You listen for a footfall, a key in the door
As the roof comes down and the walls move in
So you didn't know it could feel like that
Till the face turned away and the day turned black
And the rain fell like a curtain
Now it's your turn to begin
To forgive her anything

(Repeat Chorus)

You'd forgive her anything
If you knew what I know
You'd forgive her anything
Say, where did all your pride go?
