New blood joins this earth And quickly he's subdued Through constant pained disgrace The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in This whipping boy done wrong Deprived of all his thoughts The young man struggles on and on he's known A vow unto his own That never from this day His will they'll take away
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through what I've shown Never be Never see Won't see what might have been
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through what I've shown Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives To running all of his He tries to please them all This bitter man he is Throughout his life the same He's battled constantly This fight he cannot win A tired man they see no longer cares The old man then prepares To die regretfully That old man here is me
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through what I've shown Never be Never see Won't see what might have been
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through what I've shown Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me I labeled you So I dub thee unforgiven
Lay beside me Tell me what they've done Speak the words I wanna hear To make my demons run The door is locked now But it's opened if you're true If you can understand the me Then I can understand the you
Lay beside me Under wicked skies Through black of day Dark of night We share this pair of lives The door cracks open But there's no sun shining through Black heart scarring darker still But there's no sun shining through No, there's no sun shining through No, there's no sun shining
What I've felt What I've known Turn the pages Turn the stone Behind the door Should I open it for you?
Yeah What I've felt What I've known Sick and tired I stand alone Could you be there 'cause I'm the one who waits for you Or are you unforgiven too?
Come lay beside me This won't hurt, I swear She loves me not She loves me still But she'll never love again She lay beside me But she'll be there when I'm gone Black heart scarring darker still Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone Yes, she'll be there when I'm gone Dead sure she'll be there
What I've felt What I've known Turn the pages Turn the stone Behind the door Should I open it for you?
Yeah What I've felt What I've known Sick and tired I stand alone Could you be there 'cause I'm the one who waits for you Or are you unforgiven too?
Lay beside me Tell me what I've done The door is closed, so are your eyes But now I see the sun Now I see the sun Yes, now I see it
What I've felt What I've known Turn the pages Turn the stone Behind the door Should I open it for you?
Yeah What I've felt What I've known So sick and tired I stand alone Could you be there 'cause I'm the one who waits The one who waits for you
Oh What I've felt What I've known Turn the pages Turn the stone Behind the door Should I open it for you? So I dub thee unforgiven
Oh, what I've felt Oh, what I've known I take this key And I bury it in you Because you're unforgiven too
Never free Never me 'cause you're unforgiven too Oh
