Shards

I tried moving with grace

At the pinnacle of our failure

But you were only saving face

And after all of our mistakes

And all the changes I'm still the same

I thank God for all my strenght

And now I'm much better off today

Though it cost me so much pain

Now you show up and you say

Could you not forgive?

And can you not forget?

Bitterness is no remedy in sorting

Through this pile of glass

You ask me to forgive

And say you'll be my friend

Your ignorance is the malady

In sorting through these

Shards of broken glass

It's all painfully cliché

How you wanted to play the savior

Without owning any blame

You might've dodget the ricochet

But there are dues that you left unpaid

And it'll all come back one day

And I knew much better than to wait

‘Cause we lost a losing game

And it calls for two to play

Could you not forgive?

And can you not forget?

Bitterness is no remedy in sorting

Through this pile of glass

You ask me to forgive

And say you'll be my friend

Your ignorance is the malady

In sorting through these shards

A borrowed olive branch is no apology

And you can take back

All of you new-found chinese philosophy

But can you answer this

Who do you think you were?

And who do you think you are?

I put all your lies to rest

In the graveyard of my heart

How can you ask me

Could you not forgive?

And can you not forget?

Bitterness is no remedy in sorting

Through this pile of glass

You ask me to forgive

‘Cause you want to be my friend

But your ignorance is the malady

In sorting through these

Shards of broken glass

I'll never forget

What you'll never regret

I'll never forget

What you'll never regret

I'll never forget

What you'll never regret
