Forgive you all

Intro:
The Golden Rule states,
"Treat others how you want to be treated"
So that's just what they'd get
If there wasn't any silver lining

Verse 1:
More chapters than pages
a novel not yet written
still pieces together the stages
on a semi-blank sheet of paper
with scratch marks in trashcans
full of crumbled up ink stains
left to evaporate like water vapor
having a hard time writin' sweet
when all I taste is sour
thoughts races a hundred miles an hour
without a concept of when to swerve
Not a coward
I can't think of a perfect way to word it
it's got to serve a purpose
my intentions are to strike a nerve, it's
what I observe, and
what all you deserve
You struck a chord in me that wasn't
ever meant to be heard, and
by the time I get to the last verse
you'll be left with your lips slurred
tongue tied and vision blured
I tried to sentence yall to life, cuz
your allegations were absurd
so instead of tear drop from a tat gun
your sentence is now deferred
I'll never forget what you've done,
but....

Chorus:
I forgive you all
for all that you've done
I'm just not the one
Forever
Somethings just aren't to be
through tragedy eyes
maybe then we'll see
that it's all just
Infatuation
Through thick and thin
right or wrong
somedays are short
somedays are long
searching for something more than
Expectation

Verse 2:
I've tried to understand your side
for the longest time
It's like starring out a curtained window
guess thats why they call them blinds
I always say that i've never felt like this before
but then just comes another whore
to take my heart
while im yellin please dont break it
Four years of my life is gone
She took it all and ignored my calls
all that I had to live for was dying
and as she took my heart and crushed it
caught her with another guy, busted
man I'm just sick
of all the the lying
Charades is just a game we play
the images that they protrayed
were in fact just like the rest, the same
couldnt accept the cheating and the blame
all of you should be ashamed
for your actions
and for my pain
cause I was left behind while
you mascaraded
should throw you like a fan through an alley
spiralying down a dark path valley
and let you see how it feels
to be jeopardized like that
being chased by the past
like it's a race
and I will out-last
and if you're in-one, I will out-run
I'll never forget what you've done,
but....


Chorus:
I forgive you all
for all that you've done
I'm just not the one
Forever
Somethings just aren't to be
through tragedy eyes
maybe then we'll see
that it's all just
Infatuation
Through thick and thin
right or wrong
somedays are short
somedays are long
searching for something more than
Expectation

Verse 3:
Every storie's a little different
from plot-line, setting to location
from levels of admirations
to superman reincarnations
life in smallville
with a Kent family blood relation
A word of advice now
and i'll let the rest decide whats true
just stop makin' like a lightbulb
only turned on with a screw
but you were the kind I feel for
I'll forgive myself for that too
maybe I cared for all the wrong reasons
 a little bit more desperate
 through each passing season
I forgive you for your lack of truancy
I forgive you for your high treason
I even forgive you for not wanting to watch Burt Reynolds
and Jackie Gleason
I forgive you waisting my time and my money
for putting stress fractures on my cranium
Reminiscent of the boxer Gene Tunney
I forgive you for using god as an excuse
for your leave of absense
He can judge you for that
and thats the ultimate line of defense
I forgive you for getting married
cause that highway we were headed on
never got us anywhere but opinions varied
I forgive you for forgetting about me
but where are you now?
I have a bachelors and soon to be masters degree
I forgive you for getting pregant
by a different man and having a son
but i'll never, ever, forget what you all have done,
but...

Chorus:
I forgive you all
for all that you've done
I'm just not the one
Forever
Somethings just aren't to be
through tragedy eyes
maybe then we'll see
that it's all just
Infatuation
Through thick and thin
right or wrong
somedays are short
somedays are long
searching for something more than
Expectation

I forgive you all
