“Forgive Me” is the fourth track on Evanescence’s second EP released in 1999. Lyrically, it’s about asking forgiveness for a mistake one made.
Ben Moody stated that it was a “private song”, but it ended up on the band’s EP.
Can you forgive me again?
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you
I heard the words come out
I felt that I would die
It hurt so much to hurt you
Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken
I'd give anything now
To kill those words for you
Each time I say something I regret I cry "I don't want to lose you."
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah
Cause you were made for me
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me
I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive
So stay with me
You look in my eyes
And I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry
And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you
