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.
