lyrics

Peering through frosty glass,
A cloudy view of the car park,
It's ten to five, you said you'd arrive at two.

The phone rang and I answered to your weeping voice,
A side of you I never knew,
and hoped I'd never know.

Your voice was cold as the snow outside,
when you spoke you made me still as ice,
words sticking like wet clothes too skin.

I rolled the sleeves down on my button-up,
and covered-up the goosebumps on my arms.

Your asking for my forgiveness,
but there's nothing for me to forgive.
You're asking for my forgiveness,
forgive yourself for this.

From the 509 to St Georges line,
to the park bench cut from Georgian Pine.
You were so quiet.

I watched mascara stain your eyes,
as you told me you'd been hurt last night
Your throat too tight,
To try and break the silence.

You asking for my forgiveness,
but there's nothing for me to forgive.
You're asking for my forgiveness,
forgive yourself of this.

Forgive and forget about it,
Forgive and forget about it.

Don't blame yourself, for this.
Forgive yourself of this.
