Forgiven — Within Temptation

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

For so long, I've tried to shield you from the world 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 stands forgiven You'll always be mine I know deep inside All that stands forgiven

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

For so long, I've tried to shield you from the world 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 stands forgiven You'll always be mine I know deep inside All that stands 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 stands forgiven You'll always be mine I know deep inside All that stands forgiven
