Forgiveness

Dust covered magazines

Houses lined up in rows

Words that you said to me

I used to believe those

I woke up from a dream

Where it was yesterday

Sometimes it's hard to breathe

When I see myself that way

But I don't blame you anymore

For wasting all my time

And opening the door

Now I know that

I'm not second best

For staying when I should have left

I still remember that night

At the Farmer's Daughter

I disappeared in plain sight

And you fell from the altar

But I don't blame you anymore

For wasting all my time

And opening the door

Now I know that

I'm not second best

For staying when I should have left

You call it forgetful

I call it forgiveness

Call it, call it (call it forgiveness)

Call it, call it (call it forgiveness)

But I don't blame you anymore

For wasting all my time

And opening the door

Now I know that

You called me heartless (all the guilt trips)

You called me baby (and pent up resentment

You called me selfish (held me tired so long)

I call it forgiveness

I don't blame me anymore
