You hurt me bad this time no coming back

And I cry 'till 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

And you you want forgiveness

But I I just can't do it yet

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 would 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

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

...

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

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
