"Your Apology" lyrics

I accept your apology
I will never get
Comfortably numb
Baptize what I cannot forget
What you're not understanding
Is everything you've abandoned, now uncovers you standing bare

They say pain is a crippled heart's cane
They say love is a poor man's game
I've been me, and I've been you
I've been waiting for the other shoe

Oh, dear heartache, for God's sake, take your exquisite pain and forgive it
What I feel can't be healed in a quick fix or some company
Take the time to let it bleed
Down to the river, gonna watch it all fade away
Take it all down to the river, gonna wash it all away

Can you imagine
A selfless way to listen?
Can you hear
Spirit, cover you in reason?
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Tired is the heart that yields the sword
You've become what you hate the most
Covered in thorns

Oh, dear heartache, for God's sake, take your exquisite pain and forgive it
What I feel can't be healed in a quick fix or some company
Take some time to let it bleed
Down to the river, gonna watch it all fade away
Take it all down to the river, gonna wash it all away

Our thoughts are real
Doesn't mean they're all true
Your thoughts of me belong to you
They won't break me
Only fuel to my fire
I will resurrect this woman

I accept your apology
I will never get
