Why is the radio so brutally cheerful

This endless happiness overdose

That it always was less of an idea and more of a boast

Now you're burning in the bloom of life

Until you're powder in the grave

Or you're pounding on the counter begging for more

Till you evaporate


Chorus:

You'd forgive her anything

If you could win back her tender kiss

You wonder where she is tonight

As this town becomes pitiless


Well, you couldn't sleep, you don't want to think anymore

You listen for a footfall, a key in the door

As the roof comes down and the walls move in

So you didn't know it could feel like that

Till the face turned away and the day turned black

And the rain fell like a curtain

Now it's your turn to begin

To forgive her anything


(Repeat Chorus)


You'd forgive her anything

If you knew what I know

You'd forgive her anything

Say, where did all your pride go?
