Forgive The Forgiven by The White Whale Lyrics

Try as you might
But you never could quite
Forgive the forgiven
For making you pay
In the barn 'neath the hay
Where you once had a vision

Of children holding out their tongues
Catching raindrops to quench their thirst
And all the while you fantasize
Of catching the first

You spend all your days
Pleading your case
To the ears of the nothing
One came to your door
Pretending to want more
Till you knew they were bluffing

So you carved out their names
Near the window panes
Where the raindrops had puddled
Keeping track of their lives
But you weren't surprised
To find that they doubled
You bled your finger to remind yourself
Even good girls sometimes hurt
You bled your finger to remind yourself
Even good girls sometimes hurt

You bled your finger to remind yourself
Even good girls sometimes hurt
You bled your finger to remind yourself
Even good girls sometimes hurt

Try as you might
But you never could quite
Forgive the forgiven

You bled your finger to remind yourself
Even good girls sometimes hurt
Of children holding out their tongues
Catching raindrops to quench their thirst

Try as you might
But you never could quite
Forgive the forgiven
