Framing Hanley Forgiveness Is An Art
You seem so dignified
You share your war stories as if you lived them
Out on the battlefront
I don't recall ever seein' you around
Is it real, is it a sickness?
'Cause it's taking control and it's making a fool
Out of you, a cruel mistress
Fate has a way of correcting mistakes
Look at the bright side, I spared you
And that's a goddamn miracle
I thought of all the ways to hurt you
Yeah, forgiveness is an art
How could you bite the hand that feeds you
When you'll come crawling back to me?
Look at the bright side, I spared you
'Cause you're so goddamn pitiful
If all the world's a stage
Seems like they sent in the clowns a little too late
They're gonna find you out
Hidin' in shadows, hidin' your doubt
Is it real, is it just business?
Hope you choke on the smoke
As your world goes up in flames
Look at the bright side, I spared you
And that's a goddamn miracle
I thought of all the ways to hurt you
Yeah, forgiveness is an art
How could you bite the hand that feeds you
When you'll come crawling back to me?
Look at the bright side, I spared you
'Cause you're so goddamn pitiful
Forgiveness is an art
Forgiveness is an art
Regardless of another shakedown
You'll never cause another breakdown
Forgiveness is an art
I hope you know I hate the way how
You thought I dug myself a way out
Look at the bright side, I spared you
And that's a goddamn miracle
I thought of all the ways to hurt you
Yeah, forgiveness is an art
How could you bite the hand that feeds you
When you'll come crawling back to me?
Look at the bright side, I spared you
'Cause you're so goddamn pitiful
