Slaine
The Things We Can’t Forgive
[Verse 1: Slaine]
We both come from broken childhoods, don't we?
Both of us have suffered from abuse too
Broken homes, broken hearts, broken dreams, broken everything
I guess it's just something that we're used to
Our relationship is kinda like a mirror
Except the more it breaks, the more it becomes clearer
You got some sharp pieces, I been cut by 'em
Left me bleeding from my heart but I'll be just fine
Because I understand your darkness, you relate to mine too
It's that twin soul theory, I had to wait to find you
That destiny road that fate would wind to
The memories you hold from Juniper Road
The hell that I hold in my heart, it's getting cold and it's dark
Now that I know we're apart, babe, I don't where to start
Those trips on memory lane, I went and drove 'em a lot
Often they send me to pain, I went and wove 'em to art
Still couldn't remedy things, sort of a backwards course
I overcome it a while, you going back into yours
I try to carry you forth, tell you I'm pulling you out
But you just push me away, baby, I wish you would stay
Maybe just get through the day, crazy, it's just you and me
Somehow it's getting me through, these hazy days when we can't see
A way out what we're wrestling through
But I don't give up on people I love ever, nah, especially you
Maybe that's broken

Can we fly on broken wings?
Who knows what the answer is
But we can try
Are we crashing down again?
Are there things we can't forgive this time?
[Verse 2: Slaine]
Where do we go from here, I wish it was clear
It's hard to accept that this is for real
I always thought our love was bigger than our issues and fears
But go to sleep alone now, and still wish you were here
It would've been our baby's first Christmas this year
I was shopping at the mall and got hit with these tears
Life has some sharp pieces, we got cut by 'em
I guess we never healed together through a tough time
I just tried to build a life for us, be a provider
I didn't grieve with you, I went right to the other side of
You being a mother again and me being a father
I said we can have another but you didn't wanna try to
After that there came some feelings that we couldn't stuff
And both of us started feeling we weren't good enough
And maybe that's from way before we met each other
Ironic, it's the same reasons why we get each other
The truth is that I loved you and the baby too
And you were worth it every second that I gave to you
I wasn't perfect I got broken pieces, you do too
But I still love you where you're broken 'cause it's beautiful
The truth is that I loved you and the baby too
And you were worth it every second that I gave to you
I wasn't perfect I got broken pieces, you do too
But I still love you where you're broken 'cause it's beautiful

Can we fly on broken wings?

But we can try
Are we crashing down again?
Are there things we can't forgive this time?
