Art Of Forgiveness

The fine line between waiting and wasting time
I carousel around the sun
While you picnic on the other side
Are we still lovers
Or was it the summer time
You don't erupt for me
No ash or burning in the breeze
You saw the sun drape over me just right
Watched the gold glitter
And knew you had to get on the inside
Disguised your laugh
While your fingers stripped what I couldn't hide
Now does the heart lead with love
Or an eye for an eye

'Cause you thought I was perfect
But then left me in a mess
You saw me beautiful
Then proceeded not to try your best
I think I hate you
But it doesn't make sense
I'm still finding it in myself that I still want you around
No I can't learn the art of forgiveness
But I still climb the roof
And make a religion out of you
No it's not fair
But I don't know what to do
I'm still finding it in myself that I still want you around

Tell me this is only just a phase you're in
At the very least am I at least your friend
Now is that tattoo a souvenir on your hand
Do you even seek to be forgiven
Now you're moving on

But it's worst than I feared
The emotion in your vase has dried
Now much more of you has disappeared
And my head is angry with my heart
How could you be naive
I'm so sorry I just wanted love for us

Tell me was I at least everything
Did you have fun debating cloud formations
Were you in love
Or did I just hold your interest
Didn't impress
Give me another chance
Tell me was I at least everything
Did the gold in me fulfill what you needed
I heard you're coming back around
But I was just a phase like the moon that you left me with

'Cause you thought I was perfect
But then left me in a fucking mess
You saw me beautiful
Then proceeded not to try your best
I think I hate you
But it doesn't make sense
I'm still finding it in myself that I still want you around
No I can't learn the art of forgiveness
But I still climb the roof
And make a religion out of you
No it's not fair
But I don't know what to do
I'm still finding it in myself that I still want you around

I still want you around
I want you around
Stuck on the carousel now
The horses are all gone
What fun is there to have now
Still in your wake
Still in my brain
Chemicals racing
It's caused a stain
