Already Forgiven
They say in time it fades
Forget where you have been
Why can't I look away from the face I've seen
I saw it on those days we spent in the park
Saw you chasing dreams down the boulevard
And I saw you're already forgiven
It takes so long to say it
Already forgiven
How long I'd let you stay
I can't escape my name
Now I won't even try
When my body's tired of drinking bitter wine
When the cup it breaks in my hand each time
When the cup it breaks in my hand each time
Telling me you're already forgiven
Will take me years to say it
Already forgiven
How could I let you stay?
I want to leave my mind and let my old ways fall
They took shapes I could not have foreseen
And in my hands this time
I don't know what I hold
But I know you're already forgiven
Already forgiven
I took up the pieces of what you made
Tried to build a fire where there was no flame
What I tried to fight in my heart in vain
What I tried to fight in my heart in vain
Telling me you're already forgiven
It took me years to say it
Already forgiven
How could I let it stay?
Already forgiven
It takes me years to say it
Already forgiven
Why can't I let it fade?
