paramore - after laughter song lyrics

track 4 ; forgiveness

you hurt me bad this time
no coming back
and i cried till' i couldn't cry
another heart attack
if i lay on the floor, maybe i'll wake up
and i don't pick up when you call
'cause your voice is a gun
every word is a bullet hole
shot a hole in the sun
if i never look up maybe i'll never notice

and you, you want forgiveness
but i, i just can't do it yet

there's still a thread that runs
from your body to mine
and you can't break what you don't see,
an invisible line
if i follow it down would we just be alright?
but it could take me all your life
to learn to love
how i thought i could love someone
i haven't even begun
if it's all up to us
we might as well give up

and you, you want forgiveness
(i can barely hang on to myself)
but i, i just can't give you that
(i'm afraid that i'll have nothing left)
but i, i just can't do it yet
(i can't do, i just can't do it yet)

don't you go get it twisted
forgiving is not forgetting
don't you go get it twisted
forgiving is not forgetting
no, it's not forgetting
no, i'll never forget it, no

and you, you want forgiveness
(i can barely hang on to myself)
but i, i just can't give you that
(i'm afraid that i'll have nothing left)
but i, i just can't do it yet
(i can't do, i just can't do it yet)
