Forgiveness

(album: Sting - 2023)

I walk a little on the wrong side
The line is paper thin
Had something like a dream and
I tried to make amends
I folded and I cried out
Want to burn a magic man
I walk a little on the wrong side

I needed to be there and I wonder
What you wanted in the end
I know that it's better
When it's better left unsaid

I just need a little forgiveness
I know that you won't
I just need a little forgiveness
Can we let it go
Give me just another line, a reason or rhyme
I can't blame you but
I just need a little forgiveness
But I know that you won't, ooh
But I know that you won't

I walk a little on the wrong side
I'm wasting time again
Had something like a rewind
Can you try to see it through my
Blue eyes
And crucify this man again
I walk a little on the wrong side

I needed to be there and I wonder
What you wanted in the end
I know that it's better
When it's better left unsaid

I just need a little forgiveness
I know that you won't
I just need a little forgiveness
Can we let it go
Give me just another line, a reason or rhyme
I can't blame you but
I just need a little forgiveness
But I know that you won't, ooh
But I know that you won't

Mmm, but I know that you won't

'Cause I just need a little forgiveness
(Just a little, baby)
Just a little forgiveness
