I would have given my word to see   You deliver the jailor's key   I'd give you the credits    And take what went wrong   I would have given most anything   To see your lips move   And hear me singing   If you had opened your mouth   And spit out my song      (Chorus)   Lover you're forgiven   You have suffered for long enough   They're holding their breath   And I'm calling their bluff   Our love is strong enough   Yeah, our love is strong enough      If there were ever a movie made    That outlined my life   In some modest way   Line for line   Note for note   Page by page   I'd hope that whoever played your part   Would feel my remorseful and heavy heart   That they would open their mouths   And unyieldingly say      (chorus)      But instead you held the key   Over my head and just out of reach   To any love that used to be   God wasted on the need for me   To feel as though I could be free   I'm not your a**hole    I'm not your thief   I thank the Lord   That I finally was redeemed      Lover, you're forgiven   You have suffered for long enough   They all held their breath   But we couldn't call their bluff   'Cause our love wasn't strong enough   Our love wasn't strong enough   Our love wasn't strong enough
