Forgiving - Lisa Marie Presley

There was once a light inside of me

But lately I see

It’s dimmed out slowly

And I fight, I kick

I yell, I scream

That what is happening

Well, it can’t be really

And as I go along

I’m finding the ground below

You can get ripped out

From under your feet

The light around you

Turned out blinding

The darkness is a more honest place to be

And I want to find in me

That I can still believe

And be forgiving

Yes, I want to be like you

Can you teach me how to be forgiving?

There was once a friend inside of me

But lately I see

There is an enemy

I fight, I kick

I yell, I scream

What is happening

But no one hears me

And I go along finding

The friends I thought I had

They weren’t good friends at all

No, I don’t really need reminding

I’m much too jaded and much to cynical

Yes, I want to find in me

That I can still believe

And be forgiving

And I want to be like you

Can you teach me how to be forgiving?
