[Intro]
      

[Verse 1]
             
The first time

          
 I tasted some

I mistakenly c

          
alled them by 

     
your name
             
I was let down

          
, it wasn't th

  
e same

Regaining my s

              
elf-worth in r

But I can't he

urges to punch

Call you a bit

       
ch and leave?
             
Why did I come

          
 here? To sit 

              
and watch you 


stare at your 

feet?
             
What was the p

              
lan? Absolve y

          
our guilt and 

      
shake hands?

[Chorus]
             
I feel no need

       
 to forgive bu

Walk for hours
