"Forgiveness" lyrics

Where did the battle begin?
It doesn't really matter, 'cause we know how it ends and
I've heard that nothing is sweet, but
What would it take for me to turn the other cheek?
'Cause I'm so tired of fighting
Feels like I've done it since the dawn of time, yeah
Gotta be, I finally got it
The gift from the tree to the axe that has cut it

It's all about forgiveness
'Cause we're all too hurt to fight anymore
It's all about forgiveness
It doesn't matter who's right anymore
Nobody's going to win this
'Cause there's nothing left to win anymore
Nobody's going to win this, it's gotta be
Forgiving you, forgiving me
Forgiving you, forgiving me

We want love, so tell me why we go
Before we know it, like a slave to the ego
Can we make it back to the center?
I'm starting to think that we both deserve better
'Cause I'm so tired of keeping
Track of the score every time we start speaking now
Gotta be, I got my mind set on
The perfume released by the flower getting stepped on

It's all about forgiveness
'Cause we're all too hurt to fight anymore
It's all about forgiveness
It doesn't matter who's right anymore
Nobody's going to win this
'Cause there's nothing left to win anymore
Nobody's going to win this, it's gotta be
Forgiving you, forgiving me

Forgiving you, forgiving me

Forgiving you, forgiving me

Forgiving you, forgiving me

Forgiveness is twice blessed, believe it
He who gives it and he who receives it
Forgiveness is twice blessed, believe it
He who gives it and he who receives it
He who gives it and he who receives it
He who gives it and he who receives it

It's all about forgiveness
'Cause we're all too hurt to fight anymore
It's all about forgiveness
It doesn't matter who's right anymore
Nobody's going to win this
'Cause there's nothing left to win anymore
Nobody's going to win this, it's gotta be
Forgiving you, forgiving me

Forgiving you, forgiving me

Forgiving you, forgiving me

Forgiving you, forgiving me
