I Forgive You

I Forgive You 

  

     You lost my life

     Sharp as a knife
     You lost a lot of things.
     Your memory in my heart
     Still sings

Today I gave you my secrets
All of them, the ones from Egypt
And those from Europe, slow motion
Swimming away across the Ocean
I whispered them in your ear
All you didn't want to hear
   
     And...
     I forgive you
     I forgive you

The secrets of the life stolen
While you screech, eyes swollen
With tears of loss
We both kneel on cool moss
I am not cruel, only want your love
That word you get so sick of

     But...
     I will always forgive you
     I will always forgive you

Buried so deep inside
Almost a stone, I tried to hide
I'll always be that seeking child
That wants to be reconciled

     I lost you before I was born
     Before I even opened my eyes

          I was forlorn
