Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Forgive sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting
[Verse 2]
I'm through with doubt
There's nothing left for me to figure out
I've paid a price
And I'll keep payin'
[Chorus]
I'm not ready to make nice, I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time to go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right, I probably wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should
[Verse 3]
I know you said
"Can't you just get over it?"
It turned my whole world around
And I kinda like it
[Bridge]
Made my bed, and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets, and I don't mind sayin'
It's a sad, sad story
When a mother will teach her daughter
That she oughta hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Sayin' that I better
Shut up and sing, or my life will be over?
[Chorus]
I'm not ready to make nice, I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time to go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right, I probably wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should
[Verse 4]
(I'm not ready to make nice) I'm not ready to back down
Still mad as hell
And I don't have time to go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right, I probably wouldn't if I could (Too late to make it)
'Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should
What it is you think I should
[Outro]
Forgive sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting
