Lilly Wood & The Prick – Prayer in C Lyrics 11 years ago
I agree with ladypetrichor and rod that it is fundamentally addressed to God.

It could also be interpreted as being addressed to everyone individually who did nothing to stop climate change.

you never said a word
never sent a letter (activism or change in behaviour)
Don't think I could forgive you

The second verse could be heard as "our word is slowly dying" referring to humanity or governments climate change commitments.
Don't think I could believe you

The third verse moves forward in time to when we're older.

And see the children are starving
And their houses were destroyed
Don't think they could forgive you

Ultimately you won't forgive yourself for doing nothing.
