The Unforgiven II

Lay beside me, tell me what they've done
speak the words that I want to hear to make my demons run
the door is locked now; but it's open if you're true
if you can understand me, then I can understand you

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
through black of day, dark of night
we share this pair of eyes
the door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
black heart scarring darker still
but there's no sun shining through....

what I've felt, what I've known,
turn the pages, turn to stone
behind the door; should I open it for you?
what I've felt; what I've known
sick and tired, I stand alone
could you be there because 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
she'll be there when I'm gone...
dead sure she'll be there

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 to stone
behind the door, should I open it for you?
what I've felt, what I've known
sick and tired I stand alone
could you be there because I'm the one who waits for you
or are you unforgiven too?

I take this key, and I bury it in you
because you're unforgiven too
