Mea Culpa

Mike & The Mechanics

You can't forgive

And you won't forget

We did something

That we both regret mea culpa



I held my breath while you

Took your time

To tell the world

What's yours is mine mea culpa



You don't need me

You don't need anyone at all

You've got what you desired

You lit the fire

And watched the rise and fall



And in your eyes I could see my face

A non believer

In a state of grace mea culpa



I see no reason for your complaint

You got the sinner

And not the saint mea culpa



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



Ad libs to fade
