Like much of the material on Simple Forms, “Rotten” deals with break up and forgiveness. The references to a drug habit also suggest the reason for the relationship’s deterioration.
The singer acknowledges that they “wouldn’t do any better” if the places were exchanged, but insists nevertheless tha...
[Verse 1]
Just because you've gotten
Yourself into a hole
There's no need to go ahead tossing it
Because you lost control
I wouldn't do any better
You should surely know
Given the choice to risk it all
As we're breaking at the bones
As we're breaking at the bones
[Chorus]
I will forgive your rotten
Needs before I know
Your trails of dead and soaking wet cotton
It's a pain that you'll never know
I will forgive your rotten
Needs before I know
Your trails of dead and soaking wet cotton
It's a pain that you'll never know
[Verse 2]
We don't have to be modern
The honesty you've shown
The shame we've spread
The truth, it's common
By circumstance alone
There's no need to soften
I'll keep your lovely note
And let go of all these decisions
Remember what you know
You will never be alone
[Chorus]
I will forgive your rotten
Needs before I know
Your trails of dead and soaking wet cotton
It's a pain that you'll never know
I will forgive your rotten
Needs before I know
Your trails of dead and soaking wet cotton
It's a pain that you'll never know
[Bridge]
Pain that you'll never know
It's a pain that you'll never know
And I'll love you through all the pain
I can love you through your heartache
Be tender, be gentle, no need to explain
[Chorus & Outro]
And I'll love you through all the pain
I will forgive your rotten
All the pain, all the pain
I can love you through your heartache
Needs before I know
Heartache, heartache
Be tender, be gentle, no need to explain
Your trails of dead and soaking wet cotton
It's a pain that you'll never know
And I'll love you through all the pain
I will forgive your rotten
All the pain, all the pain
I can love you through your heartache
Needs before I know
Heartache, heartache
Be tender, be gentle, no need to explain
Your trails of dead and soaking wet cotton
It's a pain that you'll never know
And I'll love you through all the pain
I will forgive your rotten
All the pain, all the pain
I can love you through your heartache
Needs before I know
Heartache, heartache
Be tender, be gentle, no need to explain
Your trails of dead and soaking wet cotton
It's a pain that you'll never know
And I'll love you through all the pain
I will forgive your rotten
All the pain, all the pain
I can love you through your heartache
Needs before I know
Heartache, heartache
Be tender, be gentle, no need to explain
Your trails of dead and soaking wet cotton
It's a pain that you'll never know
