lyrics

I don’t need to be remembered
I don’t care if I’m believed
I’m not waiting in my cell
to be condemned or be reprieved
I was told I came out crooked
so I walked a crooked line
now the judgement may be final
but it’s mine

I will live unforgiven
I will rise among the brave
and I won’t ask for permission
to lie in my own grave
I will fly and I will fall
and I will live unforgiven

all the promises I’ve broken
all the hearts I couldn’t hold
all the truths I left unspoken
just to keep away the cold
now the wind is like a talon
and my skin is raked with grace
the grin I wear goes well beyond
my face

I will live unforgiven
I’m not hiding anymore
and if I built my own prison
I can damn well build a door
I will howl and I will sigh
and I will live unforgiven

there’s a poison I can’t swallow
a regret I can’t allow
our mistakes are never hollow
anyhow
I have made all my excuses
now I have to make my way
if you can’t take me that’s ok

I will live unforgiven
I will make my world mine
and I may not get to heaven
but it won’t keep me from trying
I will smile and I will storm
and I will live

I will live unforgiven
I will die among the brave
and I won’t ask for permission
to lie in my own grave
I will fly and I will crawl
and I will live
I will try and I will fall
and I will live unforgiven
after all
