Mea Culpa Songtext
von Mike + the Mechanics

You can′t forgive and you won't forget
We did something that we both regret
I held my breath while you took your time
To tell the world what′s yours is mine

You don't need me, you don't need anyone at all
You got what you desire
You lit the fire and watched the rise and fall

And in your eyes I could see my face
An unbeliever in a state of grace
I see no reason for your complaint
You got the sinner and not the saint

I can′t say much, I can′t say anything at all
You tell the story well
Then you retire to watch the rise and fall

You never know what's in your heart until you look
You never know what′s in your heart until you look


Take a look
Just take a look
Just take a look
Just take a look

You don't need me, you don′t need anyone at all
You got what you desire
You lit the fire and watched the rise and fall

You never know what's in your heart until you look
You never know what′s in your heart until you look

Take a look
Just take a look
Just take a look
Just take a look

You can't forgive me
You won't forget me
Should have known from the start
What′s going on inside your heart

Take a look
I don′t need you, I don't need anyone at all
