and I want to forget   and I want to forgive you   to forgive you      well I was born among it   and I watched it die   but my silent cry   couldn’t break through their wall   they couldn’t hear my call      I asked him and he told me   that he didn’t really love me   and I cried that night   and I cried that night   and he never tucks me in anymore      I miss the smelled when we’d   when we’d watch the football games   and he’d curse the player’s names      he’d ask me if I loved him   and I said that I did   I always looked up to him   and we laughed all night   we laughed all night   but he never tucks me in anymore      the last time I talked to him   I was just fourteen   so grown up it seemed   but I needed him   he told me that he’d find himself   another family to love   and I asked him if he loved me   but he didn’t understand   he didn’t understand   and he never tucks me in anymore      and I want to forget   and I want to forgive you   to forgive you      and I will   cause I did it without you   you’d be so proud of me   if you could be   and I still love you   but I’ve let go now   but I’ve let go now   and I’m at peace and I hope   you are too   you are too
