Story Behind The Song
This is the resignation part. You've finally emerged from the pain. You're anger no longer serves you. The light of truth can enter your heart and you can stop holding on to the bad things keeping you down. You know it's over.

Lyrics
What's Done Is Done
What's done is done, we can't go on.
You love another and I've been oh so wrong.
If you can't be mine alone, then
I'm back out on my own.
What's done is done and the light of truth
has shown, ooh, what's done is done.
What words could say to light the way
is hidden in the dark but exposed
by the light of day. The sun shining on your
face shows your heart is a guilty place.
What's done is done and the
light of truth shines on. What's done is done.
Out from your silence about my defiance
there grew an alliance. He
would soon take my place. He helped you grow
stronger so you would no longer live in compliance,
and then you'd fall from grace.
No tears on your face.
What's said is said. Let there be no regret.
I had to say it but we both knew our love was dead.
You can't build homes on lies when it's action that
clarifies.
What's done is done by the cold light that's in your eyes.
The sun shining on your face shows your heart is a guilty,
a dark, and wicked place. You know
it's done! It's done and the light of truth shines on.
What's done is done till the light of
proof has shown. What's done is done and the light
of truth shines on. Ooh,
What's done is done.
