Forgiveness Letter by Easy Out Lyrics
Forgiveness Letter
Easy Out
[Intro]
I originally wrote this as a forgiveness letter
I'd hoped it could make us all a little bit better
But now I see that it doesnt matter
Cause you dont want to be a father
I wrote this a year ago
And I think you saw it as a joke
But I meant it
I wasn't just trying to put on a show
I really wanted you to know
That you had my forgiveness and my friendship
But now I see that you dont think that I meant it
You've made me want to empty a whole damn clip in to my brain
Just a little bit
You taught me what not to do
You taught me what wasn't cool
You think we hate you
And typically you fit the shoe
You could leave me and my mom black and blue
People can change
I Thought that wasn't true
But thanks to you I know what I never want to be
I used to pray that you would leave
Id ask God please "take him out of my life so I can die in peace"
But now I'll take a reprieve
[Reprive]
Go to hell or die in a hole
All lies and your so full
Of hate that I pray for your soul
Your past is dirtier than the oldest piece of coal
You create lies and decipt for yourself
Do you know how long its been since ive felt
I can still hear the sound of pain from your belt
It confusing as hell but I know im compelled
You create pain and you make that hurt last
You know it doesnt go away fast
But I forgave you and in case you felt sad
Here again are my words from the past
You're never to far from redemption
You're just not getting our attention
We aren't who you need to confess conviction
We dont want you back
You can even imagine
We had out bad times and you could hit sometimes
But you're worst moments gave me my best components
Like patience and kindness
I couldn't thank you enough for this
And for that im glad that you were my dad
And I promise you that im not mad
Yes you've done so much bad
But I still forgive you dad
Im tired of everyone being so sad
Call God and ring the bells
My dad is gone forever, he fell
You made our life a living hell
You were our jail cell
And this could still be a forgiveness letter
If you just let yourself get better
Your past doesn't at all have to matter
Remebering it just makes us all sadder
And makes me a whole lot madder
When you say that you dont matter
Cause that distrust is a ladder
If your family was plastic we'd shatter
Get your act together
And become a real father
Nobody here wants to see you falter
Do it for me my sisters and brothers
And she deserves better so do if for my mother
Wait for the day that you hold her
But you hit her but instead treat her sweeter
Trust me none of us want to stay bitter
[Outro]
Yet twenty years down the drain
Shut up and let me complain cause my father was not a real father
He was a damn good imposter
