ALPHAVILLE lyrics - For The Sake Of Love

(Lyrics: Gold-Janey Diamond / Music: Gold-Bloss)



I forgive, I forgive

I forgive all my friends who left me alone

I forgive the wall that it had so many stones

I forgive the lord that he never sent a priest

I forgive the hangman, I forgive the beast

I forgive the winter that it was so cold

I forgive my father that he was so bold

I forgive the ashes that they couldn't stay flames

I forgive the acid, I forgive the rains

I forgive James Joyce that I couldn't read his books

I forgive that you've never given back what you took

I forgive the puzzle that I didn't fit

I forgive the shit that I couldn't write a hit

I forgive the dog that she never came home

I forgive all the ways that they always lead to rome

I forgive the worm in the very last tree

I forgive the girls who haven't forgiven me

I forgive inspiration when it came to late

I forgive all the ladies when I had to wait

I forgive superman that I didn't stay clean

I forgive, I forgive, anyone, anything

For the sake of love, for the sake of love

For the sake of love

I forgive the angels who could never take me high

I forgive all my dreams that I couldn't really fly

I forgive the thought that I couldn't stop thinking

I forgive all the drinks that I couldn't stop drinking

I forgive the clock that it didn't wake me up

I forgive the driver, I forgive the cab

I forgive all the moments that they wouldn't stay

I forgive all the years that they've flown away

I forgive the promises that they've been broken

I forgive the curses that they have been spoken

I forgive all the prophets and the saints of the past

I forgive the stars when they fell too fast

I forgive the joke that it didn't make me laugh

I forgive desire that I had to starve

I forgive all the love for the sake of love

I forgive all sakes for the fake above

For the sake of love, for the sake of love

For the sake of love
