[Loyle Carner]
Thank you for rocking with man me for so long man, 10 fucking years we've been doing the shit, the next 10 are going to be even better

[Verse 1]
Yeah, uh, I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you
After everything we've been through
Everything we seen
The Disney channel on the screen, yo, I can't forget the screams
Late at night, clinging to the beams
Wonder, is he understanding what I mean?
Saying don't go now, yo, please, 'cause I was starting to believe
The first twenty-seven years, a bad dream
Finally found my feet, head low, walking through the streets
Had these headphones filling up with beats, my mind speaks
I'm hurt, still rosey in my cheeks
Why do autumn leaves get to fall in peace when it's falling down on me?
I keep my hands where you can see
'Cause I ain't being fallen by police, felt you calling in my jeans
My back pocket splitting in the seams
I couldn't start the car, find the keys

[Verse 2]
Yeah, yo, I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you
And I hope that it continues after everything you've been through
Living a life that was sinful
Slicing through my belly like a ginsu
The birthday cake I bring you
Know you feel, know you're about to cry
I can see it in the corner of your eye
There ain't nothing you can hide, locking off the phone out of pride
Doesn't matter if you blow it in the skies 'cause I'm knowing why
Like pawn to E4, bishop C4
That's light work, Queen to F3, I can see more
My best days, still my heart banging out my chest plate
Queen to F7, that was checkmate
Hoping that my pen breaks so I can finish this and press play
Listen to decisions that my pen makes 'cause Ben stayed
Yeah, I'm saying Ben stayed
The next day, the next day, then the next day
[Verse 3]
Yo, I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you
'Cause I know that it's within you and I'm better when I'm with you
Tryna reconnect as we begin to
Understand the reasons that you're sinful 'cause Earth's evil
Yeah, 'cause hurt people, hurt people
Especially the ones who weren't equal, the burnt treacle
Wonder what would be expected in the sequel
Except for the cycle to repeat 'cause that's the default
That life's lethal, watching history repeat itself
So I can rewrite the ending and the prequel
And figure out the bit in the middle until it keeps all
Of my people together and living peaceful
Trust, 'cause ain't no Jack, ain't no beanstalk
Ain't no fairy tales places we walk but we fought
Just for this, just for smiles, yo, that he brought
Still I'm lucky, yo, that we talk
I forgive you
