Forgiveness

Pride rides 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 love

But now the spell is broken

Deep down you know, you surely must

It's all because of words unspoken

No you've 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 they're nothing new

But still, they're hard to swallow

So don't pretend you don't know the truth

A life like that is sad and hollow

So if you ever say the words ‘I'm sorry'

And know the sweet and gentle glory of Forgiveness

Then I'm sorry too.
