We don't rewrite history, no
But we can tidy up our house
There are more tears in our closets than reason
We don't rewrite history, no
But we could change our tone
Tell me, is it ever too late for forgiveness?

I didn't want to break anything except the sound of my voice
To tell the people I've hurt, forgive me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) forgive me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) forgive me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) forgive me (ooh-ooh-ooh)

In the name of pride, we've torn families apart
As if the world lacked petty wars
Rather than silence, rather than puffing out our chests
Giving ourselves a new chance would be sublime

I didn't want to break anything except the sound of my voice
Until you hear it, forgive me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) forgive me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) forgive me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) forgive me
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) oh, forgive me, please

We don't rewrite history, no
But we can tidy up our house
There are more tears in our closets than reason
We don't rewrite history, no
But we could change our tone
Tell me, is it ever too late

Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
