Forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck
All the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are all these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
These times are so uncertain
And there's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
And this trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
This pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
With the work I put between us
You know it doesn't keep us warm
I am learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my hearts will scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
There are people in your life who've come and gone
They will let you down and hurt your pride
You gotta put it all behind you, cause life goes on
You can carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside
I wanna be happily ever after
Forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if
No, you don't love me
I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
But the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
It's about forgiveness, yes, forgiveness
Even if, even if, even if you don't love me any more
Even if you don't love me any more
It's all about, it's all about forgiveness
