Forgiven Lyrics - Five Score & Seven Years Ago - Relient K

Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of 

We're in the palm of a hand, making a fist 

It'd be best for one of us to speak up 

But we prefer to pretend it does not exist 

And you can't see past the blood on my hands 

To see that you've been aptly damned to fail and fail again 

'Cause we're all guilty of the same things 

We think the thoughts, whether or not we see them through 

And I know that I have been forgiven 

And I just hope you can forgive me too 

So don't you dare blame me 

For prying open the door 

That's unleashed the bitterness 

That's here in the midst of this 

Sometimes we live for no one but ourselves 

And what we've been striving for 

Has turned into nothing more 

Than bodies, limp on the floor 

Victims of falling short 

We kiss goodbye, the cheek of our true love 

And you can't see past the blood on my hands 

To see that you've been aptly damned to fail and fail again 

'Cause we're all guilty of the same things 

We think the thoughts, whether or not we see them through 

And I know that I have been forgiven 

And I just hope you can forgive me too, you can forgive me too 

And you can't see past the blood on my hands 

To see that you've been aptly damned to fail and fail again 

'Cause we're all guilty of the same things 

We think the thoughts, whether or not we see them through 

And I know that I have been forgiven 

And I just hope you can forgive me too 

You can forgive me too, you can forgive me too 

You can forgive me, can forgive me 

Can forgive me, can forgive me too
