Forgive Me
Redemption Melody: A-Money Nichols' Heartfelt Apology in 'Forgive Me'
Lyrics
Forgive me I have sinned
Expressing remorse for committing a sin
I have messed around again
Acknowledging repeated mistakes or unfaithfulness
Forgive me though I hurt you
Seeking forgiveness despite causing hurt
I know I don't deserve you
Recognizing a lack of deserving the other person
Should've never left you alone
Regretting leaving the person alone
I should've just stayed at home
Expressing regret for not staying at home
Should've not answered the phone
Regret for answering the phone, leading to issues
She made sure you're long gone
Indicating that someone else caused the separation
Didn't tell you I love you enough
Admitting to not expressing love adequately
I made the relationship more tough
Acknowledging personal contribution to relationship difficulties
Than what it should; I fucked up
Confessing to significant mistakes in the relationship
My mistakes made my life rough
Recognizing that personal mistakes led to a challenging life
I deserve the hell that's coming
Accepting responsibility for impending consequences
I'm not going to go off running
Commitment to facing consequences without avoidance
I'll take it; I won't be bumming
Resolving not to let emotions dictate actions
Off emotions anymore; keep it coming
Commitment to facing consequences without avoidance (repeated)
Forgive me I have sinned
Reiteration of seeking forgiveness for committed sins
I have messed around again
Acknowledging repeated mistakes or unfaithfulness (repeated)
Forgive me though I hurt you
Reiteration of seeking forgiveness despite causing hurt
I know I don't deserve you
Reiterating a sense of not deserving the other person
You wanted to see me; I never came
Regret for not meeting a previous commitment to meet
I don't know why I play games
Acknowledging a pattern of playing games with emotions
With you heart; it's a damn shame
Regret for playing with the other person's heart
You got away and I'm the one to blame
Acceptance of personal responsibility for the other person getting away
Only I can learn from my mistakes
Acknowledging the need to learn from personal mistakes
I'll begin the next time I'm awake
Commitment to starting afresh and learning from past mistakes
This cheating for me will make
Acknowledging the negative consequences of cheating
Me know the prize I threw away
Realization of the value lost due to personal actions
Your patience wore thin on me
Acknowledging the strain placed on the other person's patience
Baby go ahead and stay ornery
Encouraging the other person to remain obstinate or strong
I fucked you over oh so wrongly
Admitting to causing significant harm to the other person
You don't have to treat me fondly
Recognizing that fond treatment is not obligatory
Forgive me I have sinned
Reiteration of seeking forgiveness for committed sins (repeated)
I have messed around again
Acknowledging repeated mistakes or unfaithfulness (repeated)
Forgive me though I hurt you
Reiteration of seeking forgiveness despite causing hurt (repeated)
I know I don't deserve you
Reiterating a sense of not deserving the other person (repeated)
No
Conclusion, expressing a sense of hopelessness or resignation
