Struggling with Forgive? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
I always said that that'd be it That I wouldn't stick around If it ever came to this Yet here I am, so confused How am I supposed to leave When I can't even move In the time it would've took to say ?Honey I'm home, how was your day' You dropped a bomb right where we live And expected me to just forgive? Well, that's a mighty big word For such a small man And I'm not sure I can ?Cause I don't even know now who I am And it's too soon for me to say forgive I guess I should ask but I won't Was it love of just her touch ?Cause I don't think I want to know So get you some things and get out Don't call me for a day or two So I can sort this out Well you might as well've ripped the life Right out of me right here tonight When through the fallin' tears you said ?Can you ever just forgive?' Well, that's a mighty big word For such a small man And I'm not sure I can ?Cause I don't even know now who I am And it's too soon for me to say forgive Well you know what they say Forgive and forget, relive and regret Well, that's a mighty big word For such a small man And I'm not sure I can ?Cause I don't even know now who I am And it's too soon for me to say forgive
