I Forgive You

There's a truth we have to live with

In the wake of our past

Everybody keeps a secret

You try to keep up to the last

But I,

I see you leave the kitchen

Like a monster in disguise

I see you hit the ceiling

And I hate and fear and curse and I forgive you

I see white ashes in the desert of your mind

There's a silence when we speak

But I forgive you

Even though I fight

So many times

And there's a mute guilt we have to live with

For when we couldn't be as strong

The soft soul seeks the longing

As a child I saw you lose control

And I,

I see you leave the garden

Like a lost man in the disguise

And I wanted to protect you

But you left me paralyzed

And I hate and fear and curse and I forgive you

I see white ashes in the desert of your mind

There's a silence when we speak

But I forgive you

'Cause I know you tried

And I hate and fear and love and I forgive you

I see white ashes in the desert of your mind

And now that I grew up

I see things clearer

But I know

I fight so many times

So many times

So many times

So many times

So many times

So many times

So many times

So many times

So many times

So many times

So many times
