Forgive you anyway
It's time that I regain control
for I have given you too much
the past will take an endless toll
if I stay here inside its clutch
a child’s plea, you will not get
that little girl, I did not stay
you let me down with no regret
and I'll forgive you anyway
the stand I needed you to take
you couldn’t care enough to give
I lived my younger years at stake
but I don't need your love to live
from what you chose, I choose to heal
your unsaid words will have no say
I'll grant you what you cannot steal
and I'll forgive you anyway
you say it wasn't by your hand
though never did you once protect
the truth, you'll never understand
the hardest hit was your neglect
what's done is done; I can't undo
but you can't have another day
the peace I make won't come from you
and I'll forgive you anyway
