FORGIVE

I pushed you away as I was pulling you close
and you did the same back to me
if only we could just get over ourselves
and tear down the wall in between

I know you can’t help who you are
and you know I’m no angel either
I call you a liar and you call me a pest
when we’re at our worst and our best

but

I
I forgive you
I forgive me
for wanting it all
for wanting everything

(interlude)

You pushed me away while you were holding me close
and I did the same back to you
if only we could part the black veil of deceit
we wouldn’t act so confused

I know you can’t help who you are
and you know I’m no angel either
I call you a hypocrite while putting me first
when we’re at our best and our worst

I
I forgive you
I forgive me
for wanting it all
for wanting everything
and then feeling the sting
and all the pain that it brings
no you can’t have it all
can’t have everything
you can’t have everything

except the one thing

(interlude)
You came to me
Down on your knees
In a moment of weakness
Go away please,
I said
Where were you when
I needed you then no
We can’t pretend
We’ll still be friends

still

I
I forgive you
I forgive me
for not knowing a thing
for wanting everything
and then feeling the sting
and all the pain that it brings
no you can’t have it all
can’t have everything
you can’t have everything

except the one thing…
