PARDON ME ©-2006-Don Martin [verse 1] pardon me , if I don't require sympathy . being alone is not a cry for help . if tears should form while sorting out my memories . I can reach the tissues by myself . [bridge 1] I'm spending time with the woman in the mirror . sharing thoughts of how it all could be . she doesn't say a word yet I still hear her . and given time I will see that she is me . [verse 2] pardon me , if I choose to stay at home tonight . I'm aware there's more fish in the sea . I know in time that everything will be alright . but bait is not the role right now for me . [bridge 1] I'm spending time with the woman in the mirror . sharing thoughts of how it all could be . she doesn't say a word yet I still hear her . and given time I will see that she is me . [instrumental] [bridge 2] I somehow thought forever'd last much longer . I guess I'm not the first to be surprised . but day by day I know I'm getting stronger . 'cause the help I have has understanding eyes . [verse 1] pardon me , if I don't require sympathy . being alone is not a cry for help . if tears should form while sorting out my memories . I can reach the tissues by myself . [outro] so pardon me . please pardon me .
