We all say things we don't mean
We all say things we don't mean
Except of course that time you said he was an asshole in his youth
And while there should always be empathy
For every differing reality
However sad you know that doesn't mean it's actually the truth
Was it envy? Was it pride?
Something deep that you denied yourself
That maybe you imagined could be beautiful?
Whatever was the case
To say that to someone's face
Was a very strange thing to do at someone's funeral
But we all say things darling we don't mean
Yes we all say things we don't mean
That don't make this difficult life any easier to live
Collective goodness buried underneath
Quiet clenching fists and gritting teeth
I just don't understand why it's so damn hard to forgive
I just don't understand why it's so damn hard to forgive
I just don't understand why it's so fucking hard to forgive
