We were never perfect and you knew it
Still, you wanted us to be that way
‘Cause you were the frustrated sculptor
And we were your solid clay
Your fingers shaped and, oh, they bruised us
But we were ugly anyway
Chorus:
I can’t tell you what you took from me
Because I don’t even know
This is not a song about forgiveness
It’s a song for letting go
Through the fire in the morning
Walk on pins and needles in the day
Nightmares crawling in our heads now
Can’t chase the fear of you away
‘Cause you were the frustrated sculptor
And we were your solid clay
Your fingers shaped and, oh, they bruised us
But we were ugly anyway
(Chorus)
I always said someday I’d leave you
But somehow I always stay
My feet turn leaden and my
Demons always block the way
I can’t say that I forgive you
Because I really don’t
I can’t tell you that it’s all right
Because it’s really not
So I will tell you one last time now
Just the way it’s gonna be:
‘Cause this is not a song about forgiveness
It’s a song for letting go
This is not a song about forgiveness
This is a song to say goodbye
