Posthumous Forgiveness

[Part I] [Verse 1] Ever since I was a small boy No one else compared to you, no way I always thought heroes stayed close Whenever troubled times arose I didn't know Ain't always how it goes [Verse 2] Every single word you told me I believed without a question, always To save all of us, you told us both to trust But now I know you only saved yourself [Chorus] Did you think I'd never know? Never wise up as I grow? [Instrumental] [Bridge] And you could store an ocean in the holes In any of the explanations that you gave And while you still had time, you had a chance But you decided to take all your sorrys to the grave [Chorus] Did you think I'd never know? Never wise up as I grow? Did you hope I'd never doubt? Never one day work it out? [Part II] [Verse 3] You were runnin' for cover Doin' like any other Fallin' out with a lover You didn't know that I suffered What a thing to discover If there was time to recover One-on-one with each other Just a boy and a father What I'd give for another Everything that I have Wouldn't need this for long Never speak of the time That you left us alone Me and Steve on our own [Refrain] I wanna tell you 'bout the time Wanna tell you 'bout my life Wanna play you all my songs Learn the words, sing along [Verse 4] (This time) Wanna tell you 'bout the time (I know) I was in Abbey Road Or the time that I had Mick Jagger on the phone I thought of you when we spoke [Refrain] Wanna tell you 'bout the time Wanna tell you 'bout my life Wanna play you all my songs Hear your voice sing along [Verse 5] (This time) I wanna say, "It's all right" (I know) You're just a man after all And I know you had demons I got some of my own I think you passed them along [Refrain] Wanna tell you 'bout the time Wanna tell you 'bout my life Wanna play you all my songs And hear your voice sing along
