How Forgiveness Goes

Ever since we met, my dear

The gods have made it very clear

We were born to lose

With the tricks we use

It's no wonder when

We don't play to win

All the price I've had to pay

It's bound to find its way someday

I've been saving up

On all my luck

I know what it takes

All of my mistakes

Oh, we both know

There will come a time when I will let you go

This is how forgiveness goes

I will pass you on to someone that is good

I will always love again

Right until the very end

I'm an endless spring

I just jump right in

And I know for sure

I am nothing

I have lived so many lives

Some of them have not survived

I don't keep account

It's some great amount

Of that hit and miss

It's just what it is

Oh, we both know

There will come a time when I will let you go

This is how forgiveness goes

I will pass you on to someone that is good

Don't tell me that I should

Keep you in my good side

This is not the time to make me change my mind

Don't say it isn't right

Don't gamble with my sense of pride

There will come a time when I will let you go

Oh, we both know

There will come a time when I will let you go

This is how forgiveness goes

I will pass you on to someone that is good

Pass you on to someone good
