Amends lyrics

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 forget 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 me the same

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 tried

When they were lined up around 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 plead to crawl

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

Cause I don't know, don't know you
