More Forgiving

from Last One Standing by Ashley Riley

/

lyrics

I wish I was more forgiving
But I'm not
I held myself to a higher standard
Now that's shot
It's not as high as I thought

I never asked to be the one that could save you
And I don't acknowledge any progress you've made
Won't place a bet on any hope that you've saved to
Restore this broken bond

Well so much has been left unsaid
I think it's best to keep it in our heads
You look at me as though you're proud that you've bled
Well you can take your wound and walk, walk

I wish you were less deceiving
Or less caught
You dug a hole to the core of the earth
Just to see if it was hot
Well, was it hot

Now you're acting like you're shocked it was easy
The lines you spin spew out as quick as you breathe in
What's the matter you're an ace at retreating
Did you slip in your own swamp

Well so much has been left unsaid
I think it's best to keep it in our heads
You look at me as though you're proud that you've bled
Well you can take your wound and walk, walk

Why you acting like you're shocked
Cuz it was easy, oh easy
The lines you spin spew out as quick as you breathe in
You just breathe in, just breathe in
Oh what's the matter you're an ace at retreating
Did you slip in your own swamp

Well so much has been left unsaid
I think it's best to keep it in our heads
You look at me as though you're proud that you've bled
Well you can take your wound and walk, walk
Oh you can take it all, you can take it all
you can take it all, you can take it and walk
