Songtext For the sake of love Alphaville

For the sake of love

I forgive, I forgive

I forgive all my friends who left me alone, I forgive the wall that it had so many stones
I forgive the lord that he never sent a priest, I forgive the hangman, I forgive the beast
I forgive the winter that it was so cold, I forgive my father that he was so bold
I forgive the ashes that they couldnt stay flames, I forgive the acid, I forgive the rains
I forgive james joyce that I couldnt read his books, I forgive that youve never given back what you took
I forgive the puzzle that I didnt fit, I forgive the shit that I couldnt write a hit
I forgive the dog that she never came home, I forgive all the ways that they always lead to rome
I forgive the worm in the very last tree, I forgive the girls who havent forgiven me
I forgive inspiration when it came to late, I forgive all the ladies when I had to wait
I forgive superman that I didnt stay clean, I forgive, I forgive, anyone, anything
For the sake of love, for the sake of love
For the sake of love

I forgive the angels who could never take me high, I forgive all my dreams that I couldnt really fly
I forgive the thought that I couldnt stop thinking, I forgive all the drinks that I couldnt stop drinking
I forgive the clock that it didnt wake me up, I forgive the driver, I forgive the cab
I forgive all the moments that they wouldnt stay, I forgive all the years that theyve flown away
I forgive the promises that theyve been broken, I forgive the curses that they have been spoken
I forgive all the prophets and the saints of the past, I forgive the stars when they fell too fast
I forgive the joke that it didnt make me laugh, I forgive desire that I had to starve
I forgive all the love for the sake of love, I forgive all sakes for the fake above
For the sake of love, for the sake of love
For the sake of love
