Forgive

(album: At The End Of Everything - 2013)

I was too young
I never realized the weight of love
It's heavy enough to build or break down
He always worked hard
Daddy built the house we lived in
And mama made her world revolve around us

It's spinning too fast, can't go back
Out of control, the battle is old

Why'd you work so hard to make it
Just to turn around and break it?
Give me some truth, I need you to
I'm finding that all these scars remind me
Of who I am and where I've been
I think I'm finally learning to forgive
To forgive, to forgive

I just want a fight
And all you want to do is fix me
I tried to set us on fire just to watch it burn down
The tighter I hold, the easier it is to lose you
I'd rather be numb than to try to face it

But I want to cheat and leave the pain
Let it all go, free my soul
Spinning too fast, can't go back
Out of control, the battle is old

Why'd I work so hard to make it
Just to turn around and break it?
Here's the truth you needed too
I'm finding that all these scars remind me
Of who I am and where I've been
I think I'm finally learning to forgive

All I've ever known of love
Is twenty-five reasons to try hard enough
Love will bring you back from the edge
Love will bring you back from the edge

Now I, I worked so hard to make it
I won't turn around and break it
I found my truth inside of you
I'm finding that all these scars remind me
Of who I am and where I've been
I think I'm finally learning to forgive
To forgive, to forgive
