I, I've been keeping secrets from you dear There's things of me are scared and you're my fear The crack goes in the ground And you, you've been coming closer to the edge Wondering what goes on in my head And so I shut you out And I guess that we don't need to be falling apart But you will always have a special place in my heart I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend? 'Cause I fell in the hole, in the hole, in the hole My heart was turning cold, turning cold, turning cold I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend? And I, I promised you that we would never change That you and me would always stay the same How I let you down And I guess that we don't need to be falling apart But you will always have a special place in my heart I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend? 'Cause I fell in the hole, in the hole, in the hole My heart was turning cold, turning cold, turning cold I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend? (Hey) So can, can you forgive me friend? Can you forgive me friend for breaking us apart? 'Cause in the end, I didn't want this to end Can you forgive me friend? Forgive my ugly heart And I guess that we don't need to be falling apart But you will always have a special place in my heart I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend? 'Cause I fell in the hole, in the hole, in the hole My heart was turning cold, turning cold, turning cold I never wanted this to end, can you forgive me friend? (Hey)
