I forgive you
Even if you’ve never asked me to
Even if it doesn't bother you
It’s just what I’ve gotta do
I forgive you
I can acknowledge what was real
Wasn’t just a thing I chose to feel
But you get hurt and then you heal
Forgiveness means abandoning hope for a brighter past
I stumble I’ve always been drunk on potential
Forgiveness does not negotiate with terrorists
But humble she dictates her terms of surrender
I forgive you
To the measure that I must
I’m not Jesus on the cross
Even him you’re supposed to ask
I forgive you
This does not imply my trust
But it’s morning on the frost
And someone has to say it first
Forgiveness means la da da da letting go
Your grudges will be there to seethe in tomorrow
Means ah da da ah da I don’t know
It’s progress your grudges will be there tomorrow
It’s progress your grudges will be there tomorrow
