Lyrics The Art Of Forgiveness - Maria Mena

The Art Of Forgiveness

I would build walls
For miles around me Around anything that hurt
Any sensitive category
Kept love at an arm’s-length
It was natural to me You did not agree
You said things like «unhealthy»
And I took on the task
Of changing my pattern
All you did was ask
And the walls all came crashing
At a welcoming speed
I was convinced you’d never hurt me And I used to cling to the back of your mind
But I must have let go At the moment in time
When she offered careless physical joy
Both bouncing my heart around
Like a cheap rubber toy
And after countless
Hours
Of crying
Trying to forgive you
Believe you
Grow a spine and leave you
Grieve you
I’ve come to this conclusion,
No one prepares you when choosing to stay
How to dare share a bed again
Keep demons at bay
She took something precious
That was just meant for me Not for her eyes to see
And I used to cling to the back of your mind
But you must have let go At the moment in time
When she offered careless physical joy
Both bouncing my heart around
Like a cheap rubber toy
And after countless
Hours
Of crying
Trying to forgive you
Believe you
Grow a spine and leave you
Grieve you
And after countless
Hours
Of crying
Trying to forgive you
Believe you
Grow a spine and leave you
Grieve you
I’ve come to this conclusion,
After all the years you invested in me All the love, tears, and possibilities
I realize that if the tables were turned around
You wouldn’t leave me now…
