High Roads

Seems I'm still holding on though I thought I'd let go.
But forgiveness is hard. Just trust me I know.

But it's not like you're innocent. I've got reasons to hate.
And the truth we refuse to admit is we're both probably somewhat to blame.

And I know if we hold it all in it'll just kill us both.
Don't you see I've been doing what's right?
I just need you to trust me.

I've read thousands of words that all say the same thing.
I should learn to let and let heal all the wounds where you cut me so deep.

I've been holding back tears. I've been hiding the hurt.
And you've been cursing and dragging my name through the dirt.
And when the dust starts to settle we'll find both sides at fault and how nobody wins when we both wind up scared of the dark.

And I know if I hold it all in it'll just kill my soul and can't you see that I'm doing what's right?
I don't care if you trust me.
