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 takin' control And it's making a fool out of you A cold 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 come crawling back to me? Look at the bright side, I spared you 'Cause you're so goddamn pitiful Woah, woah, woah Woah, woah, woah Woah, woah, woah If all the world's a stage Seems like they've 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 come crawling back to me? Look at the bright side, I spared you 'Cause you're so goddamn pitiful Woah, woah, woah Forgiveness is an art Woah, woah, woah Woah, woah, woah Forgiveness is an art Regardless of another shakedown You'll never cause another breakdown Woah, woah, woah Forgiveness is an art I hope you know I hate the way how You thought I'd found 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 come crawling back to me? Look at the bright side, I spared you 'Cause you're so goddamn pitiful Woah, woah, woah Woah, woah, woah Woah, woah, woah
