Cover art for Close to Heaven lyrics by Breaking Benjamin

I think this song is about a cheater´s feeling...got caught and is asking for forgiveness. I think here you can see the other side of the coin, real regret of someone that is trully sorry...

Relationships are complex, sometimes we love someone so much but they kind of fade away or vanish and we stumble without them, trying to fill the emptyness that grows in the place where they should be, then well, shit happens and we tray to cover what we did wrong, but somethimes truth just come out right in the moment we don't need it. I think life just sits there and thinks "This is getting boring, let´s put some shit sause to this to make it spicy!"...

Pain come alive, I try to breathe, shade my eyes Follow the damned, I have lost the way again (Wakes up feeling guilty about dating another person at the same time, maybe waking up in the same place)

Stay, trust in life, carried beneath, dead arise Sorrow avenged, I will face the weak within. (When he is with his love again positive feelings arise again, what once seem to be dead beacause of distance)

So I'll stay unforgiven
And I'll keep love together And I'll be yours forever I'll sleep close to Heaven (As the other person is dissapointed may not forgive this easily, but he/she decides to fight back and fix things no matter what, will stay close to true love, close to heaven, even if it´s hard)

Hate lost inside, I dare to dream, faithless lies Caught in the web, I will face the weak within (Nobody likes to make mistakes, remember sometimes makes us angry, yo can feel desperation to wait when you want somebodys love and happiness, he needs forgiveness, but somedays it feels like meaningless everthing he/she is doing, cause sorrw sidefects make it harder to see the good stuff)

So I'll stay unforgiven And I'll keep love together And I'll be yours forever I'll sleep close to Heaven (Surrenders, and acept the storm just to say close)

I'm coming home I'm coming home I'm coming home Release me, my love (Trully asking for redemption)

So I'll stay unforgiven And I'll keep love together And I'll be yours forever I'll sleep close to Heaven

I'll sleep close to Heaven I'll sleep close to Heaven (Will stay like this until redemption)
