Forgiven
Empty and broken my heart sees nothing.
Empty and broken my soul feels nothing.
Everything I believed was just an illusion.
Everything I trusted was just a trick.
Nothing left for us to do.
Nothing left for us to say.
Hatred, lies and loss
have had their way.
I hate you.
I hate you for making me believe
That my innocence could be preserved.
I hate you.
I hate you for showing me
that my heart could love again.
I believed you,
when you said you loved me too.
I believed you,
when you said you'd always be there.
It's a bitter sweet symphony
when there's nothing left between us
but hatred and cruel lies.
It's a bitter sweet symphony
when there's nothing more for us
to say but goodbye.
Your need for vengeance made Him win.
Your blind belief let Her in.
If you'd never left Greece, left Caesar in peace...
If you'd only listened once, saw your child
from with out instead of from with in...
If we'd only taken the chance
to be each other's guides.
If we'd only learned that love is the only way
Instead of seeking to lay blame...
Then we wouldn't be here
hating each other
fighting when we should be
grieving today.
I never meant to betray you...
I only wanted you to be the hero you are to me.
I never meant to break the vows I gave you...
I was only trying to be the hero you made out of me.
Can you forgive me for not trusting you?
Can you forgive me for breaking my vow?
If you can forgive me
then I'll forgive you.
Look into my eyes and see
all the love that lives inside
it always was for you.
Just for you.
Can it be,
that there really is
forgiveness in there for me?
So if you'll forgive me...
I do.
and I forgive you (and I do)
then maybe all our single sorrows
Can be shared by two.
Through love and forgiveness
we shall find our way.
Hatred, lies and loss
no longer have their sway.
Together we will walk
Together we will learn
and together we will always
work to be
Forgiven.
Forgiven forever.
Love has found a way
to conquer hatred on this day.
So forever let me stand beside you
and forever let me always remember that love is
stronger when shared by two.
