You Shouldn't Forgive Me Lyrics

If I said that I regret all the hell I put you through

Would you even listen, would you even care

I know that I have upset

Everything I meant to you

This is my admission, though it isn't fair

I've stayed away for all these years

And away's where I'll remain

I've no right to shed any tears

And always I'll bear the blame

You shouldn't forgive me

You know I haven't earned it yet

And it's likely that I never will

If you don't outlive me

I don't know if I'll win that bet

But if I do I will raise my quill

Even if I could broadcast

All these words and notes to you

Would it even matter

Would you even laugh

No is what I would forecast

I can guess what you would do

You would smash and shatter

Kill your crueler half

I've stayed away partly for fear

And partly due to the pain

And because you were once so dear

And because I am insane

You shouldn't forgive me

You know I haven't earned it yet

And it's likely that I never will

If you don't outlive me

I don't know if I'll win that bet

But if I do I will raise my quill

I seek nothing from you

I hope we'll never meet again

But I hope you're well

I want nothing from you

I know we'll never meet again

But I hope you're well

You shouldn't forgive me

You know I haven't earned it yet

And it's likely that I never will

If you should outlive me

I don't think you will win that bet

But if you do, please review my will

But it's likely that you never will

And it's likely that I never will
