Who would have thought That in an instant My future would be gone And in its place Just painful memories And a million damning gazes What could I have done? What should I have said? I have lived my life Hounded like prey Wondering why Why I should pay I gave my love My only soul Just look inside At my naked pity Who would have thought That in an instant My loved one, would be gone And in her place A million stares A distorting eye on someone shoulder What could I have done? What should I have said? It's not forgive It's not forget It's simply fairness That's all I ask Some words were spoken Many words were written yet only few were left unbroken I saved a life Some tears were shed yet only few Seemed to take notice You pushed me out So you could bring me Back with my hands in your chains What could I have done? What should I have said? Where will we find Where the truth lies Now that the words Have all been broken Can we replace My mother's tears Now that the souls Have all been tainted It's not forgive It's not forget It's simply fairness That's all I ask
