Mansun - Forgive Me

You said that every man must stand alone
And now you see me as I really am
Now I've got to be a better man
If I don't...

And I hope and pray that you forgive me

I know that every man must stand alone
I know there must be some give and take
She said "all of your excuses make me sick
Don't go..."

And I hope and pray that you forgive me
You'll be laughing when I'm gone

I know that everything I did was wrong
Now you see me as I really am
But please imagine this scenario
A man, a preacher man he told me
Don't go, holding up my hands to say
