Forgive, Can't Forget

When I was young,
You taught me virtue,
but not by example.
I always had to be the bigger person,
the bigger person.
I'd take all responsibility,
for things I didn't do,
and I forgave so many times.

You're 1500 miles away,
and I can't find the words to say,
all this time its building up,
your last words are to fresh,
they still play on my mind,
they are burning my thoughts.
with no hope, of burning out,
this grudge is holding on.

I watched you play with alchohol,
while I cleaned up your mess,
I tucked my sister into bed,
while you locked yourself in your room.
We were hungry you didnt care,
we had to fend for ourselves.
We were hungry you didnt care,
we had to fend for ourselves!

You're 1500 miles away,
and I can't find the words to say,
all this time its building up,
your last words are to fresh,
they still play on my mind,
they are burning my thoughts.
with no hope, of burning out,
this grudge is holding on.

I know its wrong but its just so hard,
you are so selfish.
I know its wrong but its just so hard,
your words relentless,
I know its wrong but its just so hard,
you are so selfish!

You're 1500 miles away,
and I can't find the words to say,
all this time its building up,
your last words are to fresh,
they still play on my mind,
they are burning my thoughts.
with no hope, of burning out,
this grudge is holding on.
