Forgiven
Echo And The Bunnymen · Evergreen [1997]
Gave a love in vain
Sold it out for pennies
Saved up all my reign
What d'you want from me?
The ocean or the sea ?
Salt inside the rising tide
Tears you got from me
Got from me, got from me
One day, I'll be ready
To take what could be mine
Everything I'd buried
I lay out on the line
What d'you want to see?
Truth or mystery?
A blinding light, a blackest night
They're both inside of me
Inside me, inside me
I'm just one of many
Took a love in vain
Sold it out for pennies
Saved up all my reign
What d'you want from me?
Truth or mystery?
Salt inside the rising tide
Tears you got from me
Got from me, got from me
I don't want to be forgiven
All I want is to be free
I know I'll never be forgiven
I know I'll never be free
