You live your life like a tornado.
destruction follows everywhere you go.
and you have no plans to stop or slow (oh).
i will not let this bitter root grow in me.
i will not let you leave that legacy,
but it gets so hard when pain is all i see (oh).
and every time i find healing, you're making a new mess,
and i am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
and i tried to remove myself from your path,
but i keep on waking up in the aftermath.
so i pick up again and say i won't look back (oh).
and i will not let this bitter root grow in me.
i will not let you leave that legacy,
but this constant fight is breaking me (oh).
and every time i find healing, you're making a new mess,
and i am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
and it hurts when you hit at the hearts of the ones i love;
when everything you touch is rubble and dust.
and it gets so hard to know how to trust,
but i will not let that bitter root grow.
i will not let it, no no.
but it gets so hard (oh).
and every time i find healing you're making a new mess,
and i am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
and i could move and never send you a forwarding address,
or i could learn the real meaning of forgiveness.
