I thought a single line of white dust up your right nostril can numb away the pain That countless nights of drunken stupors could make me forget That constantly telling myself I'm just experimenting and not suppressing Hoping one day I'd forgive him but only finding myself regretting You see I'm not addicted to the substance I'm addicted to blame, blaming him for the pain I'm addicted to the anger, the anger that he triggers when i realize I'm turning into him. Always intoxicated on some other ailment. Intoxicated on the lustful idea that we could be the perfect pair but now all i think is how i wasn't good enough, how K & L are your legacy, and I'm just a girl who you once said you loved, but don't bother to acknowledge. You see dad, I denied my anger for so long Said it was all in my head but now i realize, I forgive you, because the more hate i fuel the more hate i feel Is it too late?

Forgive....Can't Forget
I thought a single line of white dust up your right nostril can numb away the pain That countless nights of drunken stupors could make me forget That constantly telling myself I'm just experimenting and not suppressing Hoping one day I'd forgive him but only finding myself regretting You see I'm not addicted to the substance I'm addicted to blame, blaming him for the pain I'm addicted to the anger, the anger that he triggers when i realize I'm turning into him. Always intoxicated on some other ailment. Intoxicated on the lustful idea that we could be the perfect pair but now all i think is how i wasn't good enough, how K & L are your legacy, and I'm just a girl who you once said you loved, but don't bother to acknowledge. You see dad, I denied my anger for so long Said it was all in my head but now i realize, I forgive you, because the more hate i fuel the more hate i feel Is it too late?
