Forgiven

Now I’m in our secret place

Alone in your embrace

Where all my wrongs have been erased

You have forgiven

You gave up the fight

You left me behind

All that’s done’s forgiven

You’ll always be mine

I know deep inside

All that’s done’s forgiven.

No one can take your place

And there is no other

Forever yours and yours alone

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

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

All the promises and lies

All the times I compromise

All the times you were denied

You have forgiven
