Forgive Me

You're sitting next to me in the form of words

But I've got a yearning for something more

You see words can't give me the comfort of the arms that I so desperately need

This is what my heart is so foolishly telling me

So convinced of my own undoing that I've got the match to start the flame

Can You hear when I scream cause I can feel You as You weep

And will You forgive me if I stand back and let You be

Cause You see I am more interested in the beautiful chains that surround me

Love is more than a funny thing and I've found out that it can run deeper than a dream

Or leave as swiftly as it came

You told me more than enough times that I should open my box of empty things

Cause You would fill each and every lifeless heartbeat

Can You see me when I tease cause I can imagine You now gritting Your teeth

And will You forgive if I sink down and let You be

Cause I am more intrigued by the sin that belongs to me

I was going to leave this one brilliant jewel behind buried as a secret only the two of us would ever know

But the whispering lies of the "what could" be's are beginning to weigh more than I will ever show

It's the wrong kind of love that shouldn't make the heart beat that much faster

I'm giving it to someone else, but does it help for You to know that I sometimes want to give my heart back to You

And can You hear when I scream cause I can feel You as You weep

And can You forgive me when I come back tomorrow

Because I am more interested in letting my sin drown me

But can You forgive me knowing that I never gave myself the chance to hear that You love me
