You will never know the depth of my love
for circumstances keep us apart
the fault was not mine, the blame is yours
but what you do is not what brings me to you.
You will never know the depth of my love
But why is "I forgive all" such a mistake?
the gallows of regret loom over, entreating forgiveness
But how, when your eyes look the same as that day?
You will never know the depth of my love
I wish I could make it all depart
the past is past, what's done is done
there is still more future to come.
You will never know the depth of my love
I see you now, red and ruthless, and I wonder
if you still regret the day you went under,
but there is still more future to come.
You will never know the depth of my love
for circumstances keep us apart
and what you did keeps us apart.
the final stanza, discovered after Veraline's death
You will never know the depth of my love
for what you did kept us apart
but what you said healed the rift between us
and now I know I can forgive this.
