NOTHING TO FORGIVE (c) 1993 Monica E. Gómez



Verse 1:  Worries gather ‘round my brow,
like clouds that have me wondering how
I'll ever make it right with you. 
You left before we talked it through.

Verse 2:  A phone call meant to say “hello”
turns into one more angry row.
Roses sent to win you back
are piles of petals, crisp and black.

Bridge:  I twist the sheets into the night,
searching for a scrap of light
and when at last I simply pray,
I hear the voice inside me say...

Refrain:  You did your best,
give it some rest ‘cause
when you're ready to live and let live,
there’s nothing to forgive.

Verse 3:
  I gave you clothes you never wore
and books that went unread, what’s more
remember when you didn't call,
and I was left to take the fall?

Verse 4:
  And what about those clever lies
you told while looking in my eyes?
With angry coals clutched in my hand,
I burn to make you understand.
