Forgive You Now, Forever

Forgive You Now, Forever

A Poem by Eli
"

It's really a song. I imagine it being sung by Crossfade or 3 Doors Down or someone like that.

"

Do you feel so let down and humilated,
not because im here but because you had your head held up so high
yeah thats why i always told you not to hold your head above the sun
now you gotta live forever with this burn
not chasin' made up stories anymore are we?
it wasn't there but you wanted it so bad, you unkowningly put put everything at risk
No baby girl you're not stubbron, it's just that you're so used to takin everything for granite

Maybe thats why the airplane will fly away when you're just a minute late
you got so much on your mind about yourself, you forget about the rest of us
but you know it's never too late, to just take a step back and take a look around you
you'll see the world is crumblin'

and if no one's there to listen when you say sorry
you'll find me emergin from the wreckage of your life to say its okay
but i gotta go on, without you, without you babe
it's never too late to find some happiness
just dont turn the right people away
Maybe I'll take you back if you promise not to try and hurt me again

It'd alway break me when you leave me to run off somehwere high and fancy
I'd just smile and say okay even though you faked your sorrys and goodbyes
But now you have nowhere to run off to; it seems all of the sudden
that I was the one who was leavin' you
Yeah, I always know you'd feed yourself that lie when the day came and you felt so stranded
but come on baby girl, I told you how it would end if you held onto yourself and not me forever
You'd want me back, the minute you loose it all
I'm too humble to let you come crawlin' back to me
I got so used to your shortcomings I told myself I would forgive you know forever

Cause underneath You've always been who you say you are when you'd lie next to me
You'd always be there to hear what i had to say
and you'd always listen no matter if my words didn't make no sense
You said that would make you my love forever; yeah the simple things you said

I knew it was never vanity or a secret message in the things you'd say to me
you just plain felt sorry for yourself cause you never knew how to fix the wrong things you've done to me

It'd alway break me when you leave me to run off somehwere high and fancy
I'd just smile and say okay even though you faked your sorrys and goodbyes
But now you have nowhere to run off to; it seems all of the sudden
that I was the one who was leavin' you
Yeah, I always know you'd feed yourself that lie when the day came and you felt so stranded
but come on baby girl, I told you how it would end if you held onto yourself and not me forever
You'd want me back, the minute you loose it all
I'm too humble to let you come crawlin' back to me
I got so used to your shortcomings I told myself I would forgive you know forever
