Can You Forgive Me Yet?

Can You Forgive Me Yet?  

You said I made it too hard to breathe.
You needed somewhere you could do your art.
We both made it too easy to leave,
Now I been living with a broken heart.
Oh baby, we had a thing,
A thing I'll never forget.
Hey baby, can you forgive me?
Can you forgive me yet?  

For twenty years I tried to live my life
As if I never had a past.
And I remember a young girl searching
Out a thing that could never last.
We built a dream into a real deal baby. 
I won a lot more than I bet. 
Oh baby, can you forgive me? 
Can you forgive me yet? 

The worst moment in my life
Was the day you drove away in the car.
I knew you were a headstrong woman, but
I never thought you'd take it that far.
I had a bad feeling that afternoon
One I'll forever regret.
Oh baby, can you forgive me?
Can you forgive me yet?

Driving on the road,
Had you on the phone.
I'm beggin,' baby, please turn around.
Then I lost my temper.
I yelled something stupid
And I never heard another sound.
You said I promised you everything.
What I delivered felt like more than a threat.
Oh baby, can you forgive me? 
Can you forgive me yet?
