Forgiveness

Bright lights before a fall
And oh, how you have fallen
Two words could have saved it all
But your lips could not form them

Did you never say the words "I'm sorry"
Or know the sweet and gentle glory of
Forgiveness, forgiveness?

We shared a rare and precious vow
But now the spell is broken
Deep down you know you surely must
It's all because of words unspoken

No, you never said the words "I'm sorry"
Or know the sweet and gentle glory of
Forgiveness, forgiveness?

I didn't want to win a war
I just longed to be your friend
If you'd just said what I was waiting for
We could have started all over again

Because regrets, oh no, they're nothing new
But still they're hard to swallow
So don't pretend you don't know the truth
A life like ours is sad and hollow

So if you ever say the words "I'm sorry"
Or know the sweet and gentle glory of
Forgiveness, and I'm sorry too
I'm sorry too, I'm sorry too

Did you never say the words "I'm sorry"
Or know the sweet and gentle glory of
Forgiveness, oh, forgiveness
Did you never say the words "I'm sorry"
Or know the sweet and gentle glory of
Forgiveness
Did you never say the words "I'm sorry"
Or know the sweet and gentle glory of
Forgiveness
