[Verse 1]
Spoilt, selfish, little child
Went out to play out in the wild
We found you shaking like a leaf
Underneath your family tree

[Verse 2]
You could never live out in the open
Regretting every word you've spoken
When you break, it's too late for you to fall apart
And the blame that you claim is all your own fault

[Chorus]
And you've been crying now for forever
But forever's come and gone
You keep begging for forgiveness
But you don't think you've done wrong
You've been crying now for forever
But forever's come and gone

[Post-Chorus]
My pleading hands, your shaking head

[Verse 3]
As your love starts to surround you
All of their words are trying to drown you
So you break, it's too late for you to fall apart
And the blame that you claim is all your own fault
[Chorus]
But you've been crying now for forever
But forever's come and gone
You keep begging for forgiveness
But you don't think you've done wrong
You've been crying now for forever
But forever's come and gone

[Post-Chorus]
My pleading hands, your shaking head

[Bridge]
So tell me another beautiful lie
Tell me everything that I want to hear
Oh won't you lay here by my side
I want to fuck away all my fear
Tell me another beautiful lie
Tell me everything that I want to hear
Oh won't you lay here by my side
I want to fuck away all my fear
Tell me another beautiful lie
Tell me everything that I want to hear
Oh won't you lay here by my side
I want to fuck away all my fear

[Outro]
For I have seen all that you have seen
And I have been where you have been
No, our hands may never be clean
At least we can hold each other
At least we can hold each other
