You live
your life like a tornado.
Destruction follows
everywhere you go.
And you have no plans to stop
or slow (oh).
I will not let this bitter root grow in me.
I will not let you leave that legacy,
But it gets so hard when pain is
all I see (oh).
And every time I find healing,
you're making a new mess,
And I am learning the real
meaning of forgiveness.
And I tried to remove
myself from your path,
But I keep on waking up in the aftermath.
So I pick up again and say I won't
look back (oh).
And I will not let this bitter root grow in me.
I will not let you leave that legacy,
But this constant fight is
breaking me (oh).
And every time I find healing,
you're making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgive
ness.
And it hurts when you hit at the hearts
of the ones I love;
When everything you touch
is rubble and dust.
And it gets so hard to know
how to trust,
But I will not let that bitter root grow.
I will not let it, no no.
But it gets so hard (oh).
And every time I find healing
you're making a new mess,
And I am learning the real
meaning of forgiveness.
And I could move and never send
you a forwarding address,
Or I could learn the real
meaning of forgiveness.
