What would it take?

-----

What would it take to make you forgive me?

What would it take to make you forget?

I know that you'll never want to relive me

but it's one of those things that I'll never regret

-----

I know that I hurt you and you feel betrayed

You think I owe you, and maybe you're right

But what would it take to make your painfade?

Why do you still hate me over something so trite?

----

You said I knew nothing, but how could you know

that all that I did, I did it for you

if we'd drop our facade and let ourselves show

You'll finally understand why I do what I do

-----

But you don't want to know me, you don't want to care

You don't want to hear why I wasn't there

You don't want to know why I did what I did

Why I did something you expressly forbid

You don't want to forget all the pain you went through

You don't want to forget what I did to you

You don't want the good, you want only the bad

No, don't stop your insults, I have one to add:

----

It was stupid to offer to help you that way

What would it take to get you to see?

All that you've been through just serves to say

thatI'm not hurting you, I'm just hurting me
