| It's about two people in a relationship that know they don't love each other anymore. They both know that it's going nowhere. It's possibly due to both of them cheating on each other, hence "What have you done?" "I know I should stop believing/I know that there's no retrieving/It's over now" This song is like a sequel to See Who I Am, where the two people in the relationship try to overcome their differences and make things work despite what people say. | |

Understand that I need to Wish that I had other choices than to harm the one I love What have you done now! I know I'd better stop trying You know that there's no denying I won't show mercy on you now I know, should stop believing I know, there's no retrieving It's over now, what have you done? What have you done now! I, I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away... oh Why, why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us, between me and you What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done now! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! Would you mind if I killed you? Would you mind if I tried to?

| I don't really want to sound like a jerk but it's hard to be subtle about this song. It has horrible lyrics. "would you mind if I killed you?" COME ON!!! And the whole song is built with filler rhymes. trying,denying,believing,retrieving..... The supposed meaning of the song is obvious to everyone. But the song is grade school. | |

| Considering that the correct lyric is this... "Would you mind if I hurt you? Understand that I need to Wish that I had other choices than to harm the one I love What have you done now! I know I'd better stop trying You know that there's no denying I won't show mercy on you now I know, should stop believing I know, there's no retrieving It's over now, what have you done? What have you done now! I, I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away... oh Why, why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us, between me and you What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done now! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! Would you mind if I killed you? Would you mind if I tried to? Cause you have turned into my worst enemy You carry hate that I don't feel It's over now What have you done? What have you done now! I, I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away... oh Why, why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us, between me and you What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done now! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done! What have you done now, what have you done?... I will not fall, won't let it go We will be free when it ends I, I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away... oh Why, why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us, between me and you I, I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away... oh Why, why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us, between me and you" I think that the song talks about someone not wanting to hurt the one they love. He/she has no choice because the person has hurt them for the last time. They will not show mercy on them because it is for their own good. The person then hates the lover for rejecting them, but the lover doesn't hate them. They are meant for each other but they can't be together when there are problems like this in a relationship. | |

| THANKYOU Justanothereject, I've been looking for these lyrics everywhere! This song reminds me so much of an ex... he dumped me in favour for someone else, and then two months later decides I was better for him, and wanted me back. Yeah, right! He broke my heart once, he's not getting the chance to do it again. I absoloutley love it, can't wait till April, I'm going to see them at Bristol Carling Academy! But what does this song mean to Within Temptation? Does anyone know? | |

| Man, this song is great! The lyrics, guitar and backing instruments (violins, flutes,e.g.) The lyrics state the obvious meaning to the song. It's about someone who loved someone very deeply but something happened to break them up, and now that person hates the one they once considered the love of their life. The videos explains pretty clearly (there's two, one when Keith Caputo is sent to kill Sharon, and the second when Sharon leaves an abusive partner) Anyway, great song. | |

| This song reminds me of my relationship with my dad a bit. He was never there for me as a kid, and the part "i've been waiting for someone like you|But now you are slipping away", its just the way i feel. He's finally started coming back into my life which is what I wanted as a child, but he's slipping away and coming back when he wants to. The Part "would you mind if I killed you?|Would you mind if I tried to?", that's how I feel right now. He really has become my worst enemy, and I do sometimes wish that I could just kill him because of all the hurt he's caused me. "I wont fall" - I won't cry infront of you and let you see my pain "We'll be free when it's over" - I might be able to respect you as a father once you get over yourself I've been thinking of a way to try and tell him, and now I think I've found the perfect song. P.S: Sorry if this comment seems insignificant, but is says 'what does this song mean to you?' and I'm off school today because of something he said yesterday to me so I had to rant somewhere. Ciao!! | |

| I like this song, just heard it on the dutch radio. As allways nice singing by sharon:). I don't know what they mean by these lyrics, but i think it's like this. There was someone that she loves, and maybe he wanted her to chose between for example her children and him. Or maybe he did something terrible, so she has to leave him, for her own sake. | |
