Forgiveness

Spent your whole life running away

From a past you can’t escape

And the straight line starts to fray

With every step you take

You’re picking fights with the voice in your head

Can’t trust a word it says

And you only call your friends

Just to try to make amends

It’s time to grow up over again

Learning your pain is not your weakness

Change only comes a day at a time and it begins tonight

Maybe forgiveness well it’s all that can save us

How long can you pretend you’re hiding with you’re head stuck in the sand

Maybe forgiveness when it’s time to be honest

You find the first step is a leap of faith in the darkness

The first step is the hardest

Don’t need to fight this battle alone

Can’t fix it on your own

White knuckles holding on

They slip before too long

Searching inside, a will to survive

You barely made it out alive

You gotta crawl before you can fly

So it begins tonight

Maybe forgiveness well it’s all that can save us

How long can you pretend you’re hiding with you’re head stuck in the sand

Maybe forgiveness when it’s time to be honest

You know the first step is a leap of faith in the darkness

The first step is the hardest

Maybe all the odds are stacked against you

From the day you were born

But even though you may be lost sometimes

Just know you’ll never be alone

Oh it’s gonna save us

How long can you pretend with you’re head stuck under the sand

Maybe forgiveness well it’s all that can save us

How long can you pretend you’re hiding with you’re head stuck in the sand

Maybe forgiveness when it’s time to be honest

You know the first step is a leap of faith in the darkness

The first step is the hardest
