I Forgive You Lyrics

The First Years Were Beautiful
Watching You Grow, Watching You Walk
With Every New Step You Took
I Felt Like You Were Leaving Me Behind
I Am The Result Of Drugs, Violence, And A Life On The Margins
I Am Selfish, A Liar, I Know Very Well How To Manipulate Others
Then You Came Into My Life And I Thought I Was Going To Save Myself
But I Messed Up Again, I Messed Up Again

Daddy, Don’t Worry, Mommy Takes Care Of Me
She Made Me Strong, I Won’t Cry
I Can’t Wait Much Longer For You
Don’t Worry, I Forgive You While You’re Still Alive
Now I’ve Become Friends With Loneliness
I Don’t Need You Anymore (Ah)

I Chose The Nightlife Instead Of Taking Care Of You
I Chose Another Woman Instead Of Your Mother
I Didn’t Take Responsibility When You Were Hungry
I Left Your Heart Tied Together With Wire
I’m Sorry For Leaving, For Running Away
I’m Sorry For Never Listening To You
You Don’t Know How Many Times I Thought About Killing Myself
For Being Everything A Child Could Have, Except A Good Father

Daddy, Don’t Worry, Mommy Takes Care Of Me
She Made Me Strong, I Won’t Cry (No, No)
I Can’t Wait Much Longer For You
Don’t Worry, I Forgive You While You’re Still Alive
Now I’ve Become Friends With Loneliness
I Don’t Need You Anymore

Ah, Today I Forgive You For All The Times You Lied To Me
For Abusing My Mother And For Abandoning My Sister
Because You Disappeared Whenever You Walked Out The Door
For The Weeks And Days You Spent Away On Tour
I Know That Living With Resentment Makes The Road Much Longer
And Filling Things With Hatred Makes The World More Bitter
I Could Have Turned Out Like You And Become A Complete Mess
But I’m The Exact Opposite Because I Took Responsibility
Today I See You As An Equal, You’re Not My Superman Anymore
I Can See A Sad Child In Those Glassy Eyes
You Had A Hard Life, But How Long Will It Last?
I Hope It’s Not Too Late By The Time You Decide To Change
