            D#            G#maj7
They say it fades if you let it
    A#sus4          G7/B
love was made to forget it
              D#              G#maj7
I carved your name across my eyelids
             A#sus4           G7/B
You pray for rain I pray for blindness

Chorus:
             Cm                 G#
If you still want me, please forgive me
             D#               A#
The crown of love has fallen from me
              Cm                 G#
If you still want me, please forgive me
             D#             A#
Because the spark is not within me

             D#             G#maj7             D#
I snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom

The only thing that you keep changing
Is your name, my love keeps growing
Still the same, just like a cancer
And you won't give me a straight answer

Chorus:
If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love has fallen from me
If you still want me, please forgive me
Because your hands are not upon me

I shrugged them off before my mom walked in
my bedroom

The pains of love, and they keep growing
In my heart there's flowers growing
On the grave of our old love
Since you gave me a straight answer

Chorus:
If you still want me, please forgive me
The crown of love is not upon me
If you still want me, please forgive me

                 D#/A#
You gotta be the one, you gotta be the way
                 D#/G#
Your name is the only word that I can say
                 D#/A#
You gotta be the one, you gotta be the way
                      D#/G#
Your name is the only word,
                          D#/A#   D#/B
the only word that I can say!
