Forgiven
Within Temptation and Metropole Orchestra Lyrics

Couldn't save you from the start
I tried to protect you from the very beginning, but couldn't do it.

Love you so it hurts my soul
My love for you is so strong it causes me pain and suffering.

Can you forgive me for trying again
I am asking for your forgiveness for attempting to help you once more.

Your silence makes me hold my breath
Your lack of response to me leaves me in suspense and unease.

Oh time has passed you by
You have missed out on opportunities and experiences because of the passing of time.

You gave up the fight
You stopped trying to overcome your struggles.

You left me behind
You moved on and left me to deal with the aftermath.

All that's done's forgiven
I have forgiven you and moved on from the past.

You'll always be mine
My love for you will never fade.

I know deep inside
I am aware, without a doubt, of my feelings.

I watched the clouds drifting away
While looking up, I saw the clouds slowly disappearing in the sky.

Still the sun can't warm my face
Although it's daytime and the sun is shining, I still feel cold and alone.

I know it was destined to go wrong
I am certain that our relationship was doomed to fail from the beginning.

You were looking for the great escape
You were searching for a way out of your problems.

To chase your demons away
You were attempting to rid yourself of your inner demons and struggles.

I've been so lost since you've gone
I have been struggling to cope since you left.

Why not me before you?
I question why I wasn't the one to leave first and avoid this pain.

Why did fate deceive me?
I feel as though fate has tricked me and led me down the wrong path.

Everything turned out so wrong
Things did not work out the way I had hoped or planned.

Why did you leave me in silence?
I wonder why you left without saying anything or explaining yourself.
