forgive me annabelle
Maybe I was out of line, but mostly I was out of touch You lean on anger like a crutch, you're bound to take a fall No doubt I was slow to learn, I just couldn't get the gist So I doubled up my fist and I punched me the wall  When you walked out on me I took the hit in stride I'm better off I lied The truth may show I stood the blow But we both know how far from grace I fell Forgive me Annabelle  Who'd have thought that peace of mind would find me in the end Nearly ten years on the mend and no getting over you For now I'm resolute, I've seen evidence of change At first I thought it strange and not worth clinging to  Let's set the record straight, I came around too late Though I got there in the end, I never was your friend  When you walked out on me, it tore my heart in half And I hid behind a laugh As I became a slave to shame I cursed your name God Damn you, rot in Hell Can you forgive me Annabelle
