  • I know
    You've fallen again
    The way I fell before
    'Cause I'm a bad loser
    When you get your way

    And I know that I'll change
    I'm chained again
    You've lost your way
    There's nothing I want today

    'Cause I'm a bad habit
    One you cannot shake
    And I hope that I change
    Don't follow me
    Don't follow me

    So I wont
    let the flowers grow
    Into the deep below
    Oh, would you forget me now?

    Still small
    Small voice of calm
    It's the blame into my arms

    'Cause I'm a bad habit
    One you cannot shake
    Oh, Mary, mercy!
    Would you pray for me?
    Would you pray for me?

    So I wont
    Let the flowers grow
    Into the deep below
    Oh, would you forget me now?

    And if I could
    Make the days of pain
    Wash the stains away
    Oh, would you forget me now?

    Ah!

    'Cause I made my mistakes
    And I feel something's changed
    And I know what's at stake
    Wash the stains away

    So I won't
    Let the flowers grow
    Into the deep below
    Oh, would you forget me now?

    And if I could
    Take the pain away
    Wash the stains away
    Oh, would you forgive me now?

    I made my mistakes
    And I feel something's changed
    Wash the stains away
    And I feel quite okay Writer/s: EDWIN CONGREAVE, JACK BEVAN, JAMES SMITH, WALTER GERVERS, YANNIS PHILIPPAKIS
