I don't think you ever loved me
and I have to believe that now
'cause otherwise
I'll look for love
like yours in every place around
The love
that flows like blood does
that I'll search for
through the years
You speak
through gritted teeth
sayin' My darlin'
I'm right here
And it is not my fault
it's something I was learnin'
I only feel at home now
in a home when it is burning
After gathering this knowledge
I have to face the truth
That you never loved me
but I tried so hard to love you
And I want
you to try
so that I can thank
you for tryin'
And then maybe
that'll make
you try some more
In the whites of your eyes
I can see they know
of your crimes but
confession won't slip
willingly past your lips
until you're on death's door
It's not in my nature
to forgive bad behavior
except when it's yours
And what makes me go crazy
I can never slam the door
If you walked in right now
with a new lie
then I'd be yours
You've always got a foot in
you've always got a start
And the fact
you never take that chance
it fucking breaks my heart
And now I'm unforgiving
my mother doesn't understand
I wasn't born an angry child
but I became an angry man
And I want
you to try
so that I can thank
you for tryin'
And then maybe
that'll make
you try some more
I can't stem the flow
and God only knows
where you hide your stash of
broken glass as the red pours
It's not in my nature
It's not in my nature
Forgiveness
was never my strong suit
But neither
was givin' up on you
Forgiveness
was never my strong suit
And I want
you to try
so that I can thank
you for tryin'
And then maybe
that'll make you
try some more
I can't stem the flow
and God only knows
where you hide your stash of
broken glass as the red pours
I want you to try
so that I can
thank you for tryin'
And then maybe
that'll make
you try some more
I can't stem the flow
and God only knows
It's not in my nature
to forgive bad behavior
especially yours
