[Verse 1]

You hurt me bad this time, no coming back

And I cried 'til I couldn't cry, another heart attack

If I lay on the floor, maybe I'll wake up

And I don't pick up when you call 'cause your voice is a gun

Every word is a bullet hole, shot a hole in the sun

If I never look up, maybe I'll never notice

[Chorus]

And you, you want forgiveness

But I, I just can't do it yet

[Verse 2]

There's still a thread that runs from your body to mine

And you can't break what you don't see, an invisible line

If I follow it down, will we just be alright?

But it could take me all your life to learn to love

How I thought I could love someone, I haven't even begun

If it's all up to us, we might as well give up

[Chorus]

And you, you want forgiveness

(I can barely hang on to myself)

But I, I can't give you that

(I can't give you, I can't give you that)

And you, you want forgiveness

(I'm afraid that I'll have nothing left)

But I, I just can't do it yet

(I can't do, I just can't do it yet)

[Bridge]

Don't you go and get it twisted

Forgiving is not forgetting

Don't you go and get it twisted

Forgiving is not forgetting

No, it's not forgetting

No, I'll never forget it, no

[Chorus]

And you, you want forgiveness

(I can barely hang on to myself)

But I, I can't give you that

(I can't give you, I can't give you that)

And you, you want forgiveness

(I'm afraid that I'll have nothing left)

But I, I just can't do it yet

(I can't do, I just can't do it yet)
