Mike & The Mechanics - Mea Culpa Lyrics

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, 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
Mea culpa

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

Mea culpa
Mea culpa
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

Mea culpa

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

Mea culpa

You can't forgive me, you won't forget me
Mea culpa
Should've known from the start
What's goin' on inside your heart

Mea culpa
Mea culpa

Take a look

Mea culpa

I don't need you, I don't need anyone at all
