[Verse 1]

Pull those chains when you turn me out

Reminding me what this life is all about

'Cause I haven't felt pain in so long

I forgot I was alive...

Sure in this life, the ironies can turn so true

But right now I'm at a loss to find one to match you

[Chorus 1]

Would you forgive me? I'm gifted, with this poison pen

Are you silently, lividly, waiting, for the ever end?

[Verse 2]

The sting from your faithless kiss, still rings on my bloodless lips

If at any other time, a love would call you mine

Come around and find, some time

Sure in this life, the ironies can turn so true

But the sin beneath my skin means it's more than likely not me but you

You...

[Chorus 2]

Would you forgive me? I'm gifted, with this poison pen

Are you silently, lividly, waiting, for the ever end?

Now would you forgive me? I'm gifted, with this poison pen

Are you silently, lividly, waiting, for the ever end?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 3]

Now would you forgive me? I'm gifted, with this poison pen

Are you silently, lividly, waiting, for the ever end?

Would you forgive me? (Would you forgive me?)

But could you, forgive me?

What you won't, give me!

[Bridge]

Poison pen, you knew it'd win!

Your faithless kiss on bloodless lips

Poison pen, you knew it'd win!

And a faithless kiss on bloodless lips

Poison pen, you knew it'd win!

Your faithless kiss on bloodless lips

Poison pen, you knew it'd win! (Bloodless lips, on bloodless lips, on bloodless lips, on bloodless lips!)

[Outro]

Would you forgive me? I'm gifted, with this poison pen

Are you silently, lividly, waiting, for the ever end?

Would you forgive me?

Could you forgive me?
