Forgiveness (Reprise)
[KIRSTEN, spoken]
I see her now
Kirsten Arnesen
(sung)
What of
Kirsten Arnesen?
Am I such a villain?
Am I?
With no great breadth of experience
No great connections
Just grabbing at the nearest straw
Using what I had
With all the good that I could have done
With all I was given
I'm not a waywardly person
Just an ordinary one
I'm stronger
Than a liar
Stronger
Than a broken promise
Stronger than
A dirty fling
Stronger
Than a poison
Keeping me
From everything
(spoken)
Everything!
(sung)
Am I nuts?
Think about the fun we'll have
Think about the laughing
I wanna laugh
Crazy
What am I afraid of?
What am I afraid of?
Is it living?
Living?
Living?
Forgiveness
Forgivenеss
I can feel it in my spine
I can teach Lila now
Teach hеr what I know
I can be useful now
With no great breadth of experience
But one great connection
Forgiveness
