Lyrics Sarah Mclachlan

Sarah Mclachlan

Forgiveness

Loving, lying enemy

I have seen your face before

Never thought again I'd see

Didn't want to anymore

I remember your loving eyes

And the moonlit kiss

The evening lullabies

I would truly miss

Through the years we'd had it all

The midnight whispers, the midday calls

This house of cards it had to fall

And you ask for forgiveness

You're asking too much

I have sheltered my heart

In a place you can't touch

I don't believe when you tell me

Your love is real

'Cause you don't know much about heaven, boy

If you have to hurt to feel

Every time I see you

I can't help but look away

All along I had believed

Everything you'd say

When I look now I know

I've seen your face before

I don't want your deceiving smile

Standing at my door

And I don't care what people say

I'm ready now to face this day

'Cause I have lost you along the way

And you ask for forgiveness

You're asking too much

I have sheltered my heart in a place

You can't touch

I don't believe when you tell me

Your love is real

'Cause you don't know much about heaven, boy

If you have to hurt to feel

'Cause you don't know much about heaven, boy

If you have to hurt

To ask for forgiveness

You're asking too much

I have sheltered my heart in a place

You can't touch

I don't believe when you tell me

Your love it real

'Cause you don't know much about heaven, boy

If you have to hurt to feel
