The Art Of Forgiveness
Maria Mena
Key: Bminor Time: 6/8 Listen to the song to get some of the rhythmical aspects right ;) Intro: Bm for about two bars 1. verse: 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 (same as first verse) 2. verse: 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 Bridge/Pre-chorus: 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 Chorus: 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 (same as first verse) 3. verse 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 (same as first bridge/pre-chorus) Bridge/Pre-chorus 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 (same as first chorus) Chorus: And after countless Hours Of crying Trying to forgive you Believe you Grow a spine and leave you Grieve you (after the you take the here even though the lyrics are "line short") 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 Outro: 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.
