Forgiven lyrics

Couldn't save you from the start

Love you so it hurts my soul

Can you forgive me for trying again?

Your silence makes me hold my breath

All the time has passed you by

Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world

Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own

Here I am

Left in silence

You gave up the fight

You left me behind

All that's done is forgiven

You'll always be mine

I know deep inside

All that's done is forgiven

I watched the clouds drifting away

Still the sun can't warm my face

I know it was destined to go wrong

You were looking for the great escape

To chase your demons away

Oh, for so I long I've tried to shield you from the world

Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own

Here I am

Left in silence

You gave up the fight

You left me behind

All that's done is forgiven

You'll always be mine

I know deep inside

All that's done is forgiven

I've been so lost since you've gone

Why not me before you?

Why did fate deceive me?

Everything turned out so wrong

Why did you leave me in silence?

You gave up the fight

You left me behind

All that's done is forgiven

You'll always be mine

I know deep inside

All that's done is forgiven
