"what's the use" lyrics

You were a dove so peaceful in the morning
I've seen you start fires with your hands
You were a bruise on the back side of my ankle
I've seen you burn out and start again

What's the use?
Oh, what's the use?
Oh, what's the use if you're not trying to forgive?

You were a boulder destructive with your anger
I've seen you move mountains with your eyes
I was afraid when I lost my identity
Inside of you, I guess we were the same

What's the use?
Oh, what's the use?
Oh, what's the use?
Oh, what's the use when?
What's the use if you're not trying to forgive?
Oh, what's the use if you're not trying to forgive?

You were a dove so peaceful in the morning
But I've seen you take many different forms
And I was so sure that you had all the answers
Because of you I'm capable of more
I'm capable of more

What's the use?
Oh, what's the use?
Oh, what's the use if you're not trying to forgive?
Oh, what's the use if you're not trying to forgive?
What's the use if you're not trying to forgive?
