Peter Eksell - To forgive (Thomas regret)

I always used to think
That I'm the one who's been wronged
I never could expect that she would be so strong
I left her no escape
I didn't think she could
I never wanted this
I didn't think she would

Revenge inside me burned so hot and fierce
I'd crush her and the world she had built
I'd make her pay for all my empty years
I'd drown her hope in waves of guilt
I wanted her to beg for forgiveness
I would laugh and say it's not my business

To forgive, please forgive me, and
To live, I never wanted you to go
Now you're gone, but I'll never
Say he won and you're with him forever

It's not my fault, I'm not to blame
I just wanted to give her back the same
I'll hold on through the night
Trying to make things right
But there's no one left to ease my soul

Just some leftovers on my dinner plate
I never get it right until it's much too late

To forgive, please forgive me, and
To live, I never wanted you to go
Now you're gone, but I'll never
Say he won and you're his forever

And when I look at the blood upon my hands
I see the hidden truth I didn't understand
I could never win her back by sacrificing you
I was too blind to see that I would lose you too

And all that's left of her is beating in his chest
The gods have played me for their fool
How am I to live with such a cruel unfeeling jest
Have I been just their stupid tool?

And now I stand here in this jersey
There's no answer when I ask the gods for mercy
To forgive... me
