Time to forgive
Verse 1
I remember your face, your voice,
The smell of your alcoholic breath.
Saying a word was no choice
And it wasn’t until after your death
That I opened up and talked
About the time that I was stalked.
Verse 2
You were supposed to be my protector
The one I could lean on in the dark
But you became my private tormentor
And forever left me with a mark
I struggle to forget that quiet night
When you sat down at my bedside
Chorus
I know it wasn’t you in there Dad
I know you too were just sad
In your eyes I could see
That you really did love me
Forgiveness came quite slow
But now I can once again grow
Verse 3
At night in my dreams you came
To give me a hug and to apologise
In your eyes I saw your shame
So we hugged and said our goodbyes
I woke up crying and I then knew
That it was time that I forgave you
Chorus
Verse 4
I doubt that I will ever forget
And I can still hear you say those words
But I now live with no regrets
And I am now as free as a bird
I can spread my wings and I can fly
I don’t find a reason anymore to hide
Chorus
