Forgiven
word and music: Lenny Lee ©2012

You've been carrying a secret and that's more than you can hide
'cuz that's not who you are
Now you're learning the hard way, you can never live a lie
this time you've gone too far
who do you think that you're fooling with that new morality
and how could you turn your back on me

You figure everything changes as the memory starts to fade
but the shadows remain
You're finding comfort in a stranger who never finds out who you are
or questions what you say, directly
Don't you know that those you're deserting gave you everything you need
but sometimes we're just too close to see - please listen carefully

Yo babe, we're home today, still searching for a smile
Faint hopes and heavy hearts and still no reasons why
yo babe, we're blown away, you never said goodbye
well ok, we make mistakes, and you should know .....you're forgiven

I saw a lady at the cafe who reminded me of you
so quick with a smile
And then I had another daydream, the funny things we used to do
and I got lost for a while
what do you think that you're gaining from that new philosophy
and would you please enlighten me - I'll listen carefully

Yo babe, we're home today, still searching for a smile
Faint hopes and heavy hearts and still no reasons why
yo babe, we're blown away, you never said goodbye
well ok, we make mistakes, and you should know .....you're forgiven

Swept up in this whirlwind romance, just like we once had
where poetry flows like red wine
late night dancing, love for the asking
don't let this chance pass you by while your heart is afire
yet still I see pain in those eyes

Yo babe, we're home today, still searching for a smile
Faint hopes and heavy hearts and still no reasons why
yo babe, we're blown away, you never said goodbye
well ok, we make mistakes, and you should know .....you're forgiven
