They Didn’t Believe Me Lyrics by Donald Reid

Beautiful Life: The Lost Album

2017

[Verse 1]
I'm sorry, darling, I didn't get to say goodbye
I came by the hospital, they wouldn't let me in
I know that you're in pain
And I wanted to be there to help you out
[Chorus]
But please forgive me
I didn't get to say goodbye
They didn't believe me
They didn't believe me, no
Please forgive me
Didn't mean to make you cry
But they didn't believe me
They didn't believe me, no
[Verse 2]
Oh, my darling, I didn't want you to go alone
I know you're happy now, I know that you are safe
Leave these flowers on your grave
It's funny I never gave you flowers before
Funny I never gave you flowers before
[Chorus]
But please forgive me
Didn't get to say goodbye
They didn't believe me
They didn't believe me, no
Please forgive me
Didn't mean to make you cry
Oh, don't leave me
They didn't believe me, no
[Bridge]
I don't know how I got there
Must have been thrown clear from the car
You were the last thing I remembered
I walked for hours and hours through town to get to you
I was broken down and bruised and I was dirty
Why wouldn't they just let me come inside?
Why wouldn't they just let me come inside?
Why wouldn't they just let me come inside?
Why wouldn't they just let me come inside?
[Verse 3]
It was raining on the day I tried to get to you, yeah
And it's been raining ever since you went through
It's funny how the weather seems to tether you to me
I wish I looked more respectable
I wish I looked more respectable
[Chorus]
But please forgive me
Didn't get to say goodbye
But they didn't believe me
They didn't believe me, no
Please forgive me
Didn't mean to make you cry
But they didn't believe me
See, the bastards didn't believe me, no
[Outro]
Please forgive me
No, please forgive me
