I would have given my world to see
You deliver the jailer's key
Id give you the credit
And take what went wrong
I would have given most anything
To see your lips move but hear me singing
If you would have opened your mouth
And spit out my song
(Chorus)
Lover youre forgiven
You have suffered for long enough
Theyre holding their breath
And Im calling their bluff
Our love is strong enough
If there were ever a movie made
That outlines my life in some modest way
Line for line note for note and page by page
Id hope that who ever played your part
Would feel my remorseful and heavy heart
They would open their mouth and unyieldingly say
(Chorus)
Instead you held the key over my head
And just out of reach
Till any love that used to be
Got wasted on the need of me
To feel as though I could be free
cause Im not your a**hole Im not your thief
I thank the lord that I finally was released
Lover youre forgiven
Weve both suffered for long enough
We all held our breath
But we couldnt call their bluff
cause our love wasnt strong enough
