No, Nobody Forgives Twice

Everybody disregards human compassion, there's no room for kindness, they stare and move on; no, nobody forgives twice: their feelings aren't rivers flowing freely, they are ice! No, nobody forgives twice and admit that's only pride; is once enough to make amends and still, think we can be friends? I had hoped to get forgiveness from you and be better than I was; no pity shows in those eyes too angry shunning smiles! You have built a wall I can't climb that easily; I can't find words that rhyme perfectly and write you the song of redemption... what's the use of begging and not be forgiven? I keep on climbing until I fall down, until you realize I don't fit that laughing clown! No, nobody forgives twice and admit that's only pride; is once enough to make amends, and still, think we can be friends? If I am not able to undo what's done, just forgive this hurtful man and be gone; I don't wish you unhappiness, only love... turn this around and make me come alive!
