Forgiven Lyrics

[MARY JANE]
You know how us Catholic girls can be
I, I.....
We make up for so much time a little too late

I never forgot it, confusing as it was
No fun with no guilt feelings
The sinners, the saviors, the lover-less priests
I'll see you next Sunday

I sang Alleluia in the choir

[MARY JANE and Chorus]
Oh, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia...

[MARY JANE]
I confessed my darkest deeds

[MARY JANE and Chorus]
To an envious man

[MARY JANE with (Chorus)]
My brothers (no)
They never (no)
Went blind for what they did
But I may as well have (I)
In the name of (Oh)
The Father (Oh)
The Skeptic and the Son
I have one more (one more)
Stupid question (Sinner)
I have my reasons to be here (Witch)
I still have a thing or two to learn (Whore)
I still need something to cling to (ooh)
So I will (you will)

[MARY JANE and Chorus]
What I learned I rejected

[MARY JANE]
But I believe again

[MARY JANE and Chorus]
I will suffer the consequence

[MARY JANE]
Of this inquisition

[MARY JANE and Chorus]
If I jump in this fountain

[MARY JANE and (Chorus)]
Will I be forgiven (forgiven...)

[Chorus]
Ooh...
Ooh...
Ooh...

[MARY JANE]
We all had our reasons to be there
We all have a thing or two to learn
We all need something to cling to
So we did
[NICK and Chorus]
So we did... (so we did)
We all have delusions in our head
We all have our minds made up for us
We have to believe in something

[FRANKIE and (Chorus)]
So I will (so I will)

[ANDREW] [Chorus]
We all had our reasons to be there Ave Maria

[ANDREW AND BELLA]
We all had our pain to learn Ave Maria

[ANDREW, BELLA AND PHOENIX]
We all needed something to cling to Ave Maria
So we did

[Chorus and (MARY JANE)]
We all had our reasons to be here (So we did)
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did

Amen

About

Genius Annotation

Forgiven is the Act 1 finale. Mary Jane goes to church for what seems to be the first time in a while to make a few wishes for her and her family. She describes how she feels her marriage is failing, her worry for Nick and Frankie and she wants the pain from her car accident to go away. Mary Jane sings Forgiven to describe essentially what the song says, we all had our own personal reasons to do what we did.
