  • I gave you my everything, but it was never enough for you
    And just like young lovers do, we made mistakes we can't undo
    Whatever I do for you, you will never be satisfied
    You wade in my waters, 'til the dying of the tide

    I'll give you heaven
    I'll give you hell
    I'm raising my huntsmen
    I'm casting my spell
    And if I all I have is to be wasted away
    I'll save myself tonight
    I can't take the pain

    I will forgive you, but I won't forget
    I will forgive you, for the burden and neglect
    I will forgive you, no I can not forget
    And I will outlive you
    I am the architect

    Oh, if you stop hurting me
    Then I'll have some time to heal
    So try to be tender, now
    'Cause the darkness feels so real

    I'll give you heaven
    I'll give you hell
    I'm raising my huntsmen
    I'm casting my spell
    And if I all I have is to be wasted away
    I'll save myself tonight
    I can't take the pain

    I will forgive you, but I won't forget
    I will forgive you, for the burden and neglect
    I will forgive you, no I can not forget
    And I will outlive you
    I am the architect

    And I know I will love again
    Give my heart again
    You better believe it
    Goodnight, my beautiful nightmare
    Sleep sweet, no more despair
    You better believe it

    That I will forgive you, but I won't forget
    I will forgive you, for the burden and neglect
    I will forgive you, and I can not forget
    And I will outlive you
    I am the architect
