Can You Forgive Her?

Another night with open eyes
Too late to sleep, too soon to rise
Youre short of breath
Is it a heart attack?
Hot and feverish you face the fact
Youre in love and it feels like shame
Because shes gone and made a fool of you in public again
Youre in love and it feels like pain
Because you know theres too much truth in everything she claims
So ask yourself now
Can you forgive her
If she wants you to?
Ask yourself
Can you even deliver
What she demands of you?
You drift into the strangest dreams
Of youthful follies and changing teams
Admit youre wrong, oh, no, not yet
Then you wake up and remember that you cant forget
Shes made you some kind of laughing stock
Because you dance to disco and you dont like rock
She made fun of you and even in bed
Said she was gonna go and get herself a real man instead
So ask yourself now
Can you forgive her
If she begs you to?
Ask yourself
Can you even deliver
What she demands of you?
Or do you want revenge?
But thats childish, so childish
Remember when you were more easily led
Behind the cricket pavilion and the bicycle shed
Trembling as your dreams came true
You looked right into those blue eyes and knew
It was love and now you cant pretend
Youve forgotten all the promises of that first friend
Its bad enough she knows how you feel
But shes not prepared to share you with a memory
So ask yourself now
Can you forgive her
If she begs you to?
Ask yourself
Can you even deliver
What she demands of you?
Ask yourself now
Can you forgive her
If she begs you to?
And ask yourself
Can you even deliver
What she demands of you?
Or do you want revenge?
But thats childish, so childish
