forgiving

Lisa Marie Presley

There was once a light inside of me
But lately I see it?s dimmed out slowly
And I fight, I kick, I yell I scream
That what is happening
Well it can?t be really
And as I go along
I?m finding the ground below
You can get ripped out
From under your feet
The light around you
Turned out blinding
The darkness is a
More honest place to be

[Chorus]
And I want to find in me
That I can still believe
And be forgiving
Yes I want to be like you
Can you teach me how to be forgiving

There was once a friend inside of me
But lately I see there is an enemy
I fight, I kick, I yell, I scream
What is happening
But no one hears me
And I go along finding
The friends I thought I had
They weren?t good friends at all
No I don?t really need reminding
I?m much too jaded and much to cynical

[Chorus]
Yes I want to find in me
That I can still believe
And be forgiving
And I want to be like you
Can you teach me how to be forgiving
