Forgiveness

So you don't wanna talk about it

Wanna sweep it under the rug

You find it hard to laugh about it

It's like a dam trying to hold back a flood

Well, you know this is gonna be hard for me

It's probably gonna make us all tired and lonely

You said some things that I won't be able to forget

I said some things that I might come to regret

Forgiveness, true forgiveness

It may take a fight, may take a few nights

It's the very best way you can shine your light

Forgiveness

Sometimes it's hard to admit the truth

Of all our anger and sadness

Well, it's easier to stay in the lies of our youth

And pretend like nothing ever happened

When the monsters from the movie screens

And the villains in all our imaginings

Are just diversions from the cold, hard facts

That sometimes we cut each other like a battle axe

Forgiveness, true forgiveness

May take a fight, may take a few nights

It's the very best way you can shine your light

Lose time, end of the line, take you down to your last dime

Bitterness and grievance can eat you alive

Even if they don't meet you halfway

You'll die a better soul if you do it anyway

Forgiveness, mmm, forgiveness

May take a fight, may take a few nights

It's the very best way you can shine your light

Forgiveness, true forgiveness

Forgiveness, true forgiveness

Hey

Ooh
