"I Can't Help Myself"

I steal a glance at you, and save it up for later
You see what I've come to? I really should know better

	But I can't help myself, help myself (can't help it)
	I'm lost in you
	I can't help myself, help myself (can't help it)
	I'm lost in you

I lie awake at night to savour what it is I've stolen
I'm hoping that you might know where this is going

        But I can't help myself, help myself (can't help it)
        I'm lost in you
        I can't help myself, help myself (can't help it)
        I'm lost in you

And the funny part is I feel no guilt and no shame
I guess where there's no action there's no blame
And if I had an ounce of sense left I'd keep it that way too
And I think of you, I think of me
And remember what will be will be
And I'm looking forward to the day
Where I don't have to feel this way

	I can't help myself, help myself (can't help it)
        I'm lost in you
        I can't help myself, help myself (can't help it)
        I'm lost in you
	I can't help myself, I'm lost in you darling, I am lost
	I'm so lost, I can't help myself

		I can't help it
                I can't help it
                I can't help it
		I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't...

"Please Forgive Me" -- Uptempo pop-rock song, with a strong 4/4 beat. Written by Julia and Simon Climie. Marisa is almost certainly correct to suggest that it was a track recorded for the album that didn't quite make the cut.

I was hanging on for something
And it's been so long in coming
That I think it might not ever get here
And I run from confrontation
And I seek some isolation
And I'm waiting on your getting out of here

Nothing lasts forever
And it never never never never seems to last for long
Never easy to say

Please forgive me
I'm leaving
There's nothing here
To believe in
I can't get lost
In this feeling
I'm still here but my heart 
Left long ago

And I gather up the reasons
And the hows and whys and meanings
Of it all and now you're leaving I swear
And I'm packing up the maybes
And the try agains and save me
From it all but nothing changes I swear

Nothing lasts forever
And it never never never never seems to last for long
Never easy to say

Please forgive me
I'm leaving
There's nothing here
To believe in
I can't get lost
In this feeling
I'm still here but my heart
Left long ago

Give my love to the others
And say a little prayer for free
Give it all, give it all to the others
But save a little for yourself and me

Please forgive me
I'm leaving 
There's nothing here
To believe in
I can't get lost
In this feeling
I'm still here but my heart--

Please forgive me
I'm leaving
There's nothing here
To believe in
I can't get lost
In this feeling
I'm still here but my heart 
Left long ago
