You forgive everyone
but you can’t love them
stop forgiving me
live with me
be my equal

Did you forgive someone
for begging
for being poor
do you understand
or do you make yourself feel better

Are you the one
do you stand on the mountaintop
then tell us
is what you see greater than failure
what else could we learn from the past
how else would we really know
is that what you see
or do you need the distance between us?

I don’t want to be forgiven
I want to be understood
can you see the callousness of my mind
the weariness of my heart
the pride that overcomes shame
yes I know myself
do you know yourself enough to know me?

They asked me
Didn't you notice something was wrong
I thought
How can you tell?
I hadn't reached that point yet
I wasn't drinking from the same cup anymore
I had a strange feeling inside
I'd seen a lot of looks cast my way
But not all of them were smiles
It's hard to decide what's normal sometimes
Especially when you're trying to let go
Rejecting life is not the way to know someone
I didn't want to be the one to say it
I thought about being judged
I knew I'd lose that one
Everytime
There's too many things to hide
But it's easy for them to find
When you look for their sins it opens every door
Except when they open you see them standing there
And it's not what you were expecting to see
Because what you didn't notice
Were the things you didn't want them to see
But you invited them in
The fingers that pointed all belonged to you
And they brought them back to you
Because they had no use for something that was wrong
