Forgive Me
Cofield Mundi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know, but it passed us by,
You're always with me
In my hart and in my minds' eye
There's just one thing i've got to say
Now that it's over
(chorus)
For everything i've done
Forgive me
For everything i've done
Forgive me, please
I don't run from you
I just only wanted to be free
From everything that bound us
Looking back now
There's no time for regret
I only wish you well
(chorus)
Forgive me
For everything i've done
Forgive me
For everything i've done
Forgive me, please
In the song "Forgive Me," Cofield Mundi sings about reflecting on a past relationship that ended and expressing remorse for the mistakes made. The opening line, "Where did the time go? I don't know, but it passed us by," suggests a feeling of not fully understanding how the relationship came to an end. However, the lyrics that follow indicate that the person being sung to is still present in the singer's thoughts and memories. The line "You're always with me in my heart and in my mind's eye" emphasizes this point, indicating that even though the relationship is over, the memories are still very vivid and real to the singer.
The chorus of the song ("Forgive me for everything I've done, forgive me please") serves as an apology to the person who the singer believes he has wronged in some way. The specific actions that are being apologized for are not mentioned, leaving the interpretation open to the listener. However, the second verse explains that the singer did not run away from the person, but simply wanted to be free from the things that were holding the relationship back. The final line, "I only wish you well," emphasizes the singer's desire for the person to be happy, even if that means they are no longer together.
Overall, "Forgive Me" is a heartfelt song that emphasizes the theme of regret and the need for forgiveness in a relationship. While the specifics of the situation are left open-ended, the emotions conveyed in the lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced a relationship that has ended badly.
