Forgiven

Alright, so, as a contrast to the last song, this is Erik feeling sorry for what he's put Christine through and basically hoping she can go on and enjoy life without him, even though he still loved her. I love the angsty and selfless Erik. Even though bitter Erik has certain… flair…

Also, I truly believe that Christine loved Erik… but not in a big enough way to save him. In the end, I think, their love just ended up destroying them. I mean, Erik would never be the same after Christine left him, and obviously being stalked by a crazy guy (I say that in affection) is bound to screw you up a bit in the head.

This song is also by Within Temptation. This one is "Forgiven". I rather love it.

Loved you from the very start
love so vast, you'll never know
Can you forgive me, I'm asking again
For me there's nothing left
Time has passed me by

Oh, I never meant to destroy your world
Oh, I know that the fault is all my own
Here I am left in silence

My dear, you were right
When you left me behind
I pray to be forgiven
You'll never be mine
I know deep inside
Will I ever be forgiven

I watched you drifting away
and tears streamed down my face
I knew it was destined to go wrong
In the end, he was your great escape
To chase your demon away

Oh, I never meant to destroy your world
Oh, I know that the fault is all my own
Here I am, forgotten, in silence

My dear, you were right
When you left me behind
I pray to be forgiven
You'll never be mine
I know deep inside
Will I ever be forgiven

I've been so lost since you've gone
I'm nothing without you…
do you ever think of me?
Everything turned out so wrong
Dreams destroyed in my violence

My dear, you were right
When you left me behind
I pray to be forgiven
You'll never be mine
I know deep inside
I've been forgiven
