Lyrics:
Can you forgive me again
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you
0:15 - 0:18
I heard the words come out
I felt that I would die
It hurt so much to hurt you
0:30 - 0:33
Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken
0:50 - 0:52
I'd give anything now
To kill those words for you
Each time I say something I regret
I cry I don't want to lose you.
But somehow I know
That you will never leave me, yeah.
1:19 - 1:21
'Cause you were made for me
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me, ohhh
1:36 - 1:38
I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive
So stay with me
You look in my eyes and
I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry.
2:14
Oooo Ah hah ahh
I'm sorry
Oooo Aaahhhh
2:44
And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you
2:57 - 3:01

Some Things To Think About/Debate Over
-Forgive Me is one of the eight songs NOT listed on the BMI Website under Evanescence.
-Ben considers this a personal song, but it MAKES NO SENSE to say that it wasn't meant to be on the SA EP, since who would force them to put a song they don't want on the EP? Don't they have control over what goes on an independently released EP? Did Amy want the song on the CD and not Ben? Another question is what is Ben's definition of the word "private" entail exactly?
172. Shauna - Since you have said "Forgive Me" is not an Evanescence song, are we to assume that it is an Amy Lee song?
no. that was done by both if us.. it just wasn't meant to be...err... actually that was a private song.
Private probably because, as one poster is implying, it was (EvRumor - since most people assumed Forgive Me was from the POV of Amy, which is EvLore even though it is wrong if we are to believe the next quote) from Ben's POV:
I know I'm a bit late, but...
In a radio interview that my friend Lisa went to someone asked Amy about this song and she said she wasn't the one who wrote it and gestured towards Ben.
So, you should be wondering what inspired Ben to write it
-Forgive Me is erroneous placed in the 2001-2002 Demo lists due to it being on the Not For Your Ears bootleg. This should not be done.
3) The was no 2002 demo for 'Forgive Me'. It is just the version from the Whisper/Sound Asleep EP.
"Forgive Me" was put on
Not For Your Ears so that is can . . . err . . . represent the Sound Asleep EP, just like "Even in Death" (after the bootlegers tweaked it into the Rough Mix) represented Origin, and just like "The Forbidden Song" (you know the one) represented the EV EP (EvRumor). At least, that is what I have come to make sense of why EID and FM are on Not For Your Ears. There is an alternative theory to this, however:
That's because there was a rumor that they were supposed to be on "Fallen" but were scrapped the last minute and didn't make it to the demo session. And because someone mis-labeled the album name for "Forgive Me" on one of those torrents/P2P programs.
