So I tried to get you
To get angry and yell
“Stand up for yourself” was
What I wanted to yell
You let me push you down
Not long after you forgive
Time and time again hurt
You keep trying to forgive
And always find a way
Why can’t you be mad at me
For more than one hour?
Forgiveness will cost you dear
Sometime one turns sour
So find more will to protect
Yourself from those who
May abuse your will to give
Another chance, and do
So I betrayed your trust
Trying to get you mad
I alienated you
Losing all that I had
“It was for you!” I cry
But I’ve pushed you away
And I swear I love you
But now please find a way
You always find a way
Why can’t you be mad at me
For more than one hour?
Forgiveness will cost you dear
Sometime one turns sour
So find more will to protect
Yourself from those who
May abuse your will to give
Another chance, and do
So here I sit, with her
Telling me we all fail
And do dumb things sometimes
But I’m growing more pale
Seeing the trust I lost
“Oh help me not think of it
Or get it back” I beg
Of her who helps me deal with it
She’ll try to find a way
And so you are mad at me
But this is not what
I wanted to come of this
And you ask me what
I really thought would happen
I see now how dumb
I was to think you’d trust me
After what I’ve done
But please, please find a way
Why can’t you be mad at me
For more than one hour?
Forgiveness will cost you dear
Sometime one turns sour
So find more will to protect
Yourself from those who
May abuse your will to give
Another chance, and do
And so you are mad at me
But this is not what
I wanted to come of this
And you ask me what
I really thought would happen
I see now how dumb
I was to think you’d trust me
After what I’ve done
But please, please find a way
You always try to forgive
And always find a way
To trust again
So please, please find a way
