I would have given my word to see
You deliver the Davis key
I'd give you the credits
And take what went wrong
I would have given most anything
To see your lips move
And hear me singing
If you had opened your mouth
And spit out my song
(Chorus)
Love is all forgiven
You have suffered for long enough
They're holding their breath
And I'm calling their bluff
Our love is strong enough
Yeah, our love is strong enough
If there were ever a movie made
That outlined my life
In some modest way
Line for line
Note for note
Page by page
I'd hope that whoever played your part
Would feel love at most full in every heart
That they would open their mouths
And unyieldingly say
(chorus)
But instead you held the key
Over my head and just out of reach
To any love that used to be
God wasted on the needful me
To feel as though I could be free
I'm not your a**hole
I'm not your theif
I thank the Lord
That I finally was redeemed
Lover, you're forgiven
You have suffered for long enough
They all held their breath
But we couldn't call their bluff
'Cause our love wasn't strong enough
Our love wasn't strong enough
Our love wasn't strong enough
