Pride rides before a fall And oh, how you have fallen Two words could have saved it all But your lips could not form them Did you never say the words 'I'm sorry' Or know the sweet and gentle glory of Forgiveness. Forgiveness We shared a rare and precious love But now the spell is broken Deep down you know, you surely must It's all because of words unspoken No you've never said the words 'I'm sorry' Or know the sweet and gentle glory of Forgiveness. Forgiveness. I didn't want to win a war I just longed to be your friend If you'd just said what I was waiting for We could have started all over again Because regrets, oh they're nothing new But still, they're hard to swallow So don't pretend you don't know the truth A life like that is sad and hollow So if you ever say the words 'I'm sorry' And know the sweet and gentle glory of Forgiveness Then I'm sorry too
