The love that I tasted
time has erased it
and I'm stuck between now and then
Now what's left is memory
the poets say to let it be
but baby I still remember when
When every beat was so sweet now I tremble
the ground's breaking under my feet I don't speak or it might crumble

So I've tried to be perfect but I'll never know
if it's ever enough for you
because I'm only human and I need forgiveness too
for everything I did and didn't do
Maybe I wasted my time with you baby

I've held it together
with love songs and letters
but the pieces still fall apart
Now the colors are fading and the lovers are hating
baby, I don't know where to start

You say I make you mad as hell, but baby I can never tell
maybe it's just as well
forgive me for everything that I've said
forgive me for all of those things that I've done
baby, I'm on my knees

So I'll never be perfect and we'll never know
if this could've been love, could've been love baby
because we're only human and forgiveness is hard to do
and we forget to forget it too
maybe I wasted my time with you baby

Give me a chance.
