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
