Veil

I'm trying not to hate you for the things you say
The way you look and the way you look at me
Differences divide us, ideologies they guide us
To this battle ground of beliefs

My situation's more desperate
Than I ever hoped to admit
My eyes are blinded by a memory
I'd just as soon forget
All I see, Is a veil of mercy

I'm trying hard to love you even if you're right
I am wrong; you're just so different than me
I'll cut you once, I'll cut you twice
I'll feel bad Cause I'm a compassionate man
