Already Forgiven (The Garden Version)

[Verse 1]
They say in time it fades
Forget where you have been
Why can't I look away from the face I've seen?
Saw it on those days we spent in the park
Saw you chase your dreams down the boulevard

[Refrain]
And I saw you're already forgiven
It takes so long to say it, already forgiven
How long I'd let you stay?

[Verse 2]
I can't escape my name, now I don't even try
When my body's tired of drinking bitter wine
When the cup, it breaks in my hand each time
Now the cup, it breaks in my hand each time

[Refrain]
Telling me you're already forgiven
It took me years to say it, already forgiven
How long I'd let you stay?

[Bridge]
I want to leave my mind and let my old ways fall
They took shapes I could not have foreseen them all In my hands this time, I don't know what I hold
But I know you're already forgiven, already forgiven

[Verse 3]
I took up the pieces of what you made
Tried to build a fire where there was no flame
What I tried to fight in my heart in vain
What I tried to fight in my heart in vain

[Refrain]
Is telling me you're already forgiven
It takes me years to say it, already forgiven
How could I let you stay? You're already forgiven
It takes me years to say it, already forgiven
Why can't I let it fade?
