Couldn’t save you from the start
Love you so it hurts my soul
Can you forgive me for trying again?
Your silence makes me hold my breath
All the time has passed you by
Ooo, for so long I’ve tried to shield you from the world
Ooo, you couldn’t face the freedom on your own
Here I am
Left in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that’s done is forgiven
You’ll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that stands forgiven
I watched the clouds drifting away
Still the sun can’t warm my face
I know it was destined to go wrong
You were looking for the greatest escape
To chase your demons away
Ooo, for so I long I’ve tried to shield you from the world
Ooo, you couldn’t face the freedom on your own
Here I am
Left in silence
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that’s done is forgiven
You’ll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that stands forgiven
I’ve been so lost since you’ve gone
Why not me before you?
Why did fate deceive me?
Everything turned out so wrong
Why did you leave me in silence?
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that’s done is forgiven
You’ll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that stands is forgiven
