There's a reason why we fell apart
A reason I will never know
I put up walls to guard my fragile heart
What a shame they were built so low

Cause here I am waiting for apologies
For causing this familiar kind of pain
And here I stand knowing that if the phone would ring
I'd be at your door and waiting in the rain

If I misunderstood
Misread you like an open book
Forgive me
Would you forgive me please
If my tongue misbehaved
And dug my heart an open grave
Forgive me
Would you forgive me please

What's the problem
I don't see my dear
Then tell me where did I go wrong
I dream of ways to make my feelings clear
And wake up knowing we should move along

Cause what's the use in chasing after yesterday
When yesterday keeps slipping out of you
And though it's true
I don't know what tomorrow holds
But I know tomorrow I will be holding you

If I misunderstood
Misread you like an open book
Forgive me
Would you forgive me please
If my tongue misbehaved
And dug my heart an open grave
Forgive me
Would you forgive me please

After all it's said and done
I might finally find someone
Who understands the way I see the world
But till then I'll bear the weight
Of finding out the truth too late
I've driven you away
I've driven you away
I've driven you away
Away, away yeah
Oh

If I misunderstood
Misread you like an open book
Forgive me
Would you forgive me please
If my tongue misbehaved
And dug my heart an open grave
Forgive me
Would you forgive me please
