lyrics:
You cannot fight the darkness with darkness
to beat it you will just need some light
Hate cannot be fought with hate.
You need love to win that fight

And I know you may have good reasons to hate me
and I don't blame you if you do
But please forgive me for what I've done
I don't deserve it but still I'm asking you …

Please forgive me for all the things I've done
Forgive me for not being the chosen one
So sorry for all the tears I've caused over there
I can't forgive myself but that's the cross I have to bare

I meant every single word I told you
That's a thing I'd like to emphasize
Every feeling for you, all the things we've gone through
Everything's true, there hasn't been any lies.

But I'm sorry that I couldn't fit your image,
your image of who we really are
You are an amazing satellite
spinning round a fallen star

Please forgive me for all the things I've done
Forgive me for not being the chosen one
So sorry for all the tears I've caused over there
I can't forgive myself but that's the cross I have to bare
