Basia Bulat Already Forgiven
They say in time it fades
Forget when you had me
Why can't I look away from the face I've seen
Saw it on those days we spent in the park
Saw you chasing dreams down the boulevard
And I saw you're already forgiven
It takes so long to say it
Already forgiven
How long I let it stay
I can't escape my name
And I don't even try
When my body's tired of drinking bitter wine
When the cup it breaks in my hand each time
When the cup it breaks in my hand each time
Telling me you're already forgiven
Will take me years to say it
Already forgiven
How could I let you stay
I want to leave my line
And let my old ways fall
Into the shapes I could have foreseen at all
In my hands this time I don't know what I hold
But I know you're already for-
Already forgiven
I took up the pieces of what remained
I tried to build a fire when there was no flame
But I tried to find in my heart and me
What I tried to find in my heart and me
Telling me that you're already forgiven
It took me years to say it
Already forgiven
How could I let it stay
Already forgiven
It takes me years to say it
Already forgiven
How can I let it fade
