It was I who betrayed you
I was the one who started the feud
I am the only one to blame
I started the fire and spread the flame
I left with a wink and hid my single tear
I would not, could not, show you my fear
I let go of your caring hand
And from your compassion I ran and ran
I attempted to stow away my terrible guilt
I tried to hide the treachery I had spilt
To no avail of course; it just ate away at my soul
All mistakes and all deceits must take their toll
Eventually I had to come crawling back
I saw your face and felt my heart crack
How could I have hurt you so?
Is not love the only thing I should have bestowed?
Instead of the anger I knew you would show
With forgiveness your face seemed to glow
You spread your arms wide and smiled
You proclaimed me innocent without a trial
I did not deserve your pardon – not at all!
Wasn’t it I who pushed you and made you fall?
And yet it is you who keeps me from the ground
Yet it is you who forgives me with without a sound
I suppose then it is you I should thank
Just when I thought my page had gone blank
For saving, for loving, for forgiving me
You are a hundred times the person I could ever be
