Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you
I heard the words come out
I felt that I would die
It hurts so much to hurt you
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken
I'd give anything now
To kill those words for you
Each time I say something I regret
I cry I don't want to lose you
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah!
'Cause you were made for me
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me, Oh!
I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive
So stay with me
You look in my eyes
And I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry [sorry]
[Ooh I'm sorry]
And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you
The lyrics of "Forgive Me" by Evanescence are about regret and the desire for forgiveness when we have hurt someone we love. The singer is apologizing to their loved one for saying something hurtful and causing them pain. The singer acknowledges that they did not mean to cause harm, but the words came out anyway, and the guilt and regret are overwhelming.
The second verse shows the impact of the singer's words on their loved one. They are no longer shouting, but they are silently broken. This suggests that the pain caused by the words runs deep and has wounded their loved one emotionally. The singer feels this pain and desperately wants to take it away. They want to "kill those words" that hurt their loved one, but they cannot take them back.
The chorus expresses the singer's deep love for their partner and their fear of losing them. They say that their loved one was "made for them" and express their desire to make them see how happy they make them. The singer is essentially begging for forgiveness and reassuring their partner that they cannot live without them by their side. The final lines reveal that the loved one does forgive the singer and that they are their "one true friend."
Overall, "Forgive Me" is a powerful song about the complexity of human relationships and the pain that comes with unintentionally hurting someone we love. The lyrics effectively capture the intense feelings of guilt, regret, and desperation that accompany such situations.
