Amends

Lyrics for Amends

You gave an inch, I took a mile You lit a match, I set our fire You know they say to make amends Face to face And though I know it's not my place To tell you how to live your life But to forgive somebody's sins Is divine, is divine There is nothing you could say To cause more hurt, or cause me shame Than all the things that I have thought About myself It's been so long and time has passed We are both changed yet nothing has When will you let me off the hook And let me pass? When the chains on the fence break And free the insane They can't wait to deliver bad news It's what you do to make it right Matter of fact, it's called revenge Cut off your nose to spite your face It's pretty cool shutting me out It's what you do to make it right Matter of fact, it's called revenge Cut off your nose to spite your face It's pretty cool shutting me out I use no knives, I didn't lie I didn't mess around, or even try When they were lined up round the block I sat and watched So it's a shame that we don't talk I miss your face and life is short Get off your cross 'cause long goodbyes Come every time, come every time It's time to change your mind It's time to change your mind Don't you be too proud It's time to change your mind 'Cause I don't know, don't know you 'Cause I don't know, don't know you 'Cause I don't know, don't know you 'Cause I don't know, don't know you 'Cause I don't know, don't know you
