within temptation - forgiven

couldnt save you from the start,
love you so it hurts my soul,
can you forgive me for trying again?
you silence makes me hold my breath,
all the time has passed you by,
for so long, ive tried to shield you from the world,
you couldnt face the freedom on your own,
here i am,
left in silence,
you gave up the fight,
you left me behind,
all that stands forgiven,
youll always be mine,
i know deep inside,
all that stands forgiven,
watched the clouds drifting away,
still the sun cant warm my face,
i know it was destined to go away,
you were looking for the great escape,
to chase your demons away,
ive been so lost since youve gone,
why not me before you?
why did fate deceive me?
everything turned out so wrong,
why did you leave me in silence?
