Forgiveness

It feels so hard to tell the truth
I keep it locked away
Up against the wall
Up against the night
It’s not fair
It’s not right

Can’t let go of your hand though
Can’t let go of your hand...

Forgiveness, I need this
I wish I was strong enough to hold it
Forgiveness, I confess
Can’t bring myself to turn to the light

Burning the candle at either end
It’s all that I can do
If I stop moving
Then questions loom
Drinks and pills
To clear the room

Don’t let go of my hand, though
Don’t let go of my hand

Forgiveness, I need this
I wish I was strong enough to hold it
Forgiveness, I confess
Can’t bring myself to turn to the light

Is it
For me or for you or for them
I can’t tell

Forgiveness, I need this
I wish I was strong enough to hold it
Forgiveness, I confess
Can’t bring myself to turn to the light
