Forgive Someone

Use a weapon of words
Or a fight with your fists
But can you forgive someone?

Stand your ground and persist
And be the last one to blink
But can you forgive someone?

And if you do
I'll run to you
Betray you with a word
I will slit my own throat first of all
I will

The black peat of the hills
When I was still ill
See this mess and forgive someone

And then recall if you can
How all this even began
Forgive someone

And if you do
I'll run to you
Betray you with a word
I would slit my own throat first of all
I will

Our truth will die with me
Our truth will die with me
Shorts and supports and faulty shower heads
At track and field we dreamt of our beds
In the bleachers you set with your legs spread, smiling
Here's one thing you'll never have

Our truth will die with me
Our truth will die with me
Our truth will die with me
