Forgiveness Lyrics - Laws Of Illusion - Sarah Mclachlan

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 will truly miss 

Through the years we 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 

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 is real 

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

If you have to hurt to feel
