is there something in your closet, something on your shelf
something that will make me feel better about myself
something you're not telling me, maybe from the past
something that you really hope to god I'll never ask
is it something so imperfect that you cover perfectly
well, hurry up, baby, forgive yourself.
so you can start forgiving me
is it something slightly twisted and locked away down deep
something that will only come to visit when you sleep
something that has deepened the lines around your eyes
something you've been keeping through too many sad goodbyes
is it something so imperfect that you cover perfectly
well, hurry up, baby, forgive yourself.
so you can start forgiving me
if you think you're the only one headed straight to hell
i'll see you, and I'll raise you one…I know that road well
is there something in your closet, back there in the dark
something that'll blow sky high when you set the spark
is there someway to relieve yourself from this moral debt
cause this is who we are and this is all the time we get
is it something so imperfect that you cover perfectly
well, hurry up, baby, forgive yourself.
so you can start on me
I said, hurry up, baby, forgive yourself.
so you can start forgiving me
