We had our reasons
Gone like the seasons
Hollow excuses
Followed phony abuses
We lodged our defences
And lost our senses
Now here we are
It feels so bizarre
Before then
You loved me
You loved me
You loved me
What did I do
That couldn't be forgiven?
I bought your vision
Stubborn indecision
Lonely refugees
Tryin' too hard to please
If this be destiny
We've been lost at sea
I still feel you near
But you're gone I fear
Before then
You loved me
You loved me
You loved me
What did I do
That couldn't be forgiven?
They'd never seen two so in love
We were everyone's ideal
But when the chips were down
The devil reneged on the deal
And in that crowded hour
When I turned to find my friend
You were nowhere to be seen
And our song was at an end
Before then
You loved me
You loved me
You loved me
What did I do
That couldn't be forgiven?
Excuse me for livin'
