I Forgive You

I forgive you, but I need you to hear me

If you slip again, I can’t let it slide

I’m already breaking every line I drew

I said I wouldn’t let this happen twice

It broke my heart to see you so unhappy

While I was building a future in my mind

I kept making room for us to grow

And wondering where your truth had gone

I feel used, and I don’t know if you’re honest

About how you feel, or if you want to stay

I’m afraid you’re only holding on

Until you find a way to walk away

I forgive you, but I can’t keep losing

The person I was before this pain

If we’re going forward, meet me honestly

I can’t keep asking you to explain

I thought we were choosing the same tomorrow

I pictured a home, a life, a start

You looked so far from the life you were in

And I couldn’t tell what was in your heart

I don’t want to make you promise forever

I just need to know you mean what you say

Are you here because you want us together

Or waiting for the day you can leave?

I feel used, and I don’t know if you’re honest

About how you feel, or if you want to stay

I’m afraid you’re only holding on

Until you find a way to walk away

I forgive you, but I can’t keep losing

The person I was before this pain

If we’re going forward, meet me honestly

I can’t keep asking you to explain

I won’t pretend that trust comes back in a day

Or that forgiveness means I’m safe from the same

If you choose me, choose me with your whole heart

If you don’t, I need you to say it plain

I feel used, and I don’t know if you’re honest

About how you feel, or if you want to stay

I’m afraid you’re only holding on

Until you find a way to walk away

I forgive you, but I can’t keep losing

The person I was before this pain

If we’re going forward, meet me honestly

I can’t keep asking you to explain

I forgive you

But I can’t let it slide

Tell me where you stand

And mean it this time
