Forgive

Forgive

Forgive sounds right
so why can't I forgive
the words that come out of your mouth?
I know I am not a angel
you have told me from every angle
I gave what I thought you wanted
but nothing is ever enough
not in your eyes
the price became love

so I am not ready to move forward
I am not condoning your behavior
I am through with the excuses
through jumping through hoops
to grant you favors
I guess I knew you was rotten
but I didn't want to see the corpse
I wanted happily ever after

forgive....
I tried, time and again
no more beginnings
now just ends
the pavement has turned into gravel
rakes over my bare feet.....cuts it makes
while my heart you robbed
I don't think I could
I know it's in my best interests
to keep all your secrets safe
but maybe I should
spill forth all the abuse I endured
all the broken bones
healed but never right again

so forgive....
I don't think so
maybe one day in the future
when I have grown wise and old
I know I will be left waiting
for an apology
I know I will turn blue
before one is received

I know I was the stupid one
like a child
it was you for so many years I believed
but it's a funny thing
distance....
gives me all the perspective
distance.....
Is my crystal ball
I see the errors of my ways
your guilt works no longer
I am now unaffected.....
