Anyhow
Leonard Cohen 2012
You
know it really is a pity, the way you treat me now;
I
know you can't forgive me but forgive me, anyhow.
The
ending got so ugly, I even heard you say,
"You
never ever loved me but could you love me anyway?"
I
dreamed about you, baby, you were wearin' half your dress
I
know you have to hate me but could you hate me less?
I've
used up all my chances and you'll never take me back
But
there ain't no harm in askin', "Could you cut me one more
slice?"
I'm
naked and I'm filthy and there's sweat upon my brow
And
all of us are guilty, anyhow.
Have
mercy on me, baby. After all, I did confess,
Even
though you have to hate me, could you hate me less?
It's
a shame and it's a pity
I know you can forgive me
You never ever loved me
I know you have to hate me
All of us are guilty
dedicated to T. and N.
