Lyrics

A CONSTANT STATE OF FORGIVENESS

Sandy Knox / Rob Meurer


SHE STOOD AND WATCHED HIS TEARS JUST FALL
AS HE BEGGED HE CRIED HE CRAWLED
SHE SAID SHE?D FINALLY HAD ENOUGH
THERE?S NO MORE LOVE RESPECT OR TRUST

HOW MANY TIMES DID SHE BELIEVE ALL HIS LIES
IGNORING THE FACTS SHE?D END UP TAKING HIM BACK

AND IT?S NO WAY TO LIVE (SHE KNOWS IT)
IT?S NO WAY TO LIVE (SHE KNOWS IT)
IN A CONSTANT STATE OF FORGIVENESS

SHE FEELS HIS TOUCH UPON HER SKIN
AS THE MORNING LIGHT STREAMS IN
HE WOULD HAVE NEVER WORN HER DOWN
IF SHE HAD ONLY STOOD HER GROUND

HOW MANY TIMES HAS SHE FORSAKEN HER PRIDE
NOT LETTING GO, AFRAID OF BEING ALONE

AND IT?S NO WAY TO LIVE (SHE KNOWS IT)
IT?S NO WAY TO LIVE (SHE KNOWS IT)
IN A CONSTANT STATE OF FORGIVENESS

SHE SEES THE BRUISE ACROSS HER CHEEK
AND SHE KNOWS IT?S TIME TO LEAVE
AND SHE PRAYS FOR STRENGTH SHE?S NEVER KNOWN
AS SHE PACKS HER BAGS TO GO

AND CLOSING THE DOOR SHE WHISPERS ?NO MORE?
SHE WON?T SAY GOODBYE AND NO SHE CAN?T EVEN CRY

BECAUSE IT?S NO WAY TO LIVE (SHE KNOWS IT)
IT?S NO WAY TO LIVE (SHE KNOWS IT)
IT?S NO WAY TO LIVE (SHE KNOWS IT)
IT?S NO WAY TO LIVE (SHE KNOWS IT)
IN A CONSTANT STATE OF FORGIVENESS
