when you asked me what was on my mind
and said that you could keep it to yourself
you lied
cause i've got the feeling you can't
i told you things i should have kept inside
and i know it's my fault cause i opened up the vault
but i will never think of you the same

i want to cover you with flowers of forgiveness
i want to touch you with the feather of forgiveness
i want to put you in a light that will hurt your eyes
i want to cover you with flowers of forgiveness

when you asked me what was on my mind
well i thought that i was talking to a friend of mine
but i get the feeling that you're not
something strange is [bad word] your way
and i don't want to sound like a paranoid clown
but i will never think of you the same

i want to cover you with flowers of forgiveness
i want to touch you with the feather of forgiveness
i want to wash you in a river of forgiveness
i want to wrap you in the fabric of forgiveness
i want to put you in a light that will hurt your eyes (x3)
i want to cover you with flowers of forgiveness
