You gave an inch, I took a mile

You lit a match, I set a fire

You know they say to make amends

Face to face

And though I know it's not my place

To tell you how to live your life

But to forget somebody's sins

Is divine, is divine

There is nothing you could say

To cause more hurt, or cause me shame

Than all the things that I have thought

About myself

It's been so long and time has passed

We are both changed yet nothing has

When will you let me off the hook

And let me pass?

When the chains on the fence break

And free the insane

They can't wait to deliver bad news

It's what you do, don't make it right

Matter of fact, it's called revenge

Cut off your nose to spite your face

It's pretty cruel shutting me out

It's what you do, don't make it right

Matter of fact, it's called revenge

Cut off your nose to spite your face

It's pretty cruel shutting me out

I used no knives, I didn't lie

I didn't mess around, or even tried

When they were lined up round the block

I sat and watched

So it's a shame that we don't talk

I miss your face and life is short

Get off your cross cause long goodbyes

Come every time, come every time

It's time to change your mind

It's time to change your mind

Don't you be too proud

It's time to change your mind

Cause I don't know, don't know you
