as I spoke prematurely I didn't waste time
so I ask for your forgiveness if you would be so kind
your mercy is the key to my peace of mind
for I know what I've done and wish to leave this all behind
for I was wrong
yes I was wrong
you drowned because of me
in weeping and in longing
forgive me now I plea
for I was wrong
I know you are strong enough to weather this storm
but it still hurts my heart that I could take away yours
how could I divide you make you broken and torn
then again I cannot be a rose without thorns
for I was wrong
yes I was wrong
you drowned because of me
in weeping and in longing
forgive me now I plea
for I was wrong
let the river swallow my heart
(let the river flow)
let the river swallow my heart
(let my conscience show)
let the river swallow my heart
(let our hearts be whole)
let the river swallow my heart
(let me see what’s good)
so was I wrong
was I really wrong
I did nothing for myself
so was I still wrong
and if it happened all again would I still act the same
would I still take this from your hand
or would I walk away
