Lyrics
Forgive
I want to live I want to feel
Please forgive and we both can heal
Time has helped me see more clearly
I can?t go back to make things right
With half a soul I?d love you dearly
I never meant for us to fight
It really hurt to see you cry
But I was too proud to apologize
I never let you know I?m truly sorry
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Is such a waste of precious, precious energy
If you want to know what I believe to be the truth
Forgiveness is the key to set you free
Too many words were said in anger
Thrown carelessly across the room
They were meant to hurt that was the danger
They found their mark they were our doom
I watched the romance disappear
Then came the loneliness and fear
Now I search to find the words to say
I?m sorry
