Lyrics

You take precautions, he takes the dare
A daily tug of war between a circle and a square
And all the cleanest air has been sucked out of the room
By that picture of a pretty bride and groom

Across a kitchen table that's a thousand miles wide
You calculate the cost of every little lie
You want to take action but nothing you'd regret
So you try to remember to forget, so you can

Forgive him his sins, and as you forgive those
And he forgives yours, and you stop keeping score
Forgive him his sins, the blow by blow
Let it all go
Forgive him his sins

Pick up the bottles, the empties on the floor
He'll cry from the bedroom it won't happen anymore
So you wrap your legs around him, and you pray with all your might
That the scars will disappear overnight, so you can

Forgive him his sins, and as you forgive those
And he forgives yours, and you stop keeping score
Forgive him his sins, the blow by blow
Let it all go
Forgive him his sins

Stay or go, that part's up to you
You might want his skin but you might need something new
A life vest, a release
A rest, some peace, so you can

Forgive him his sins, and as you forgive those
And he forgives yours, and you stop keeping score
Forgive him his sins, the blow by blow
Let it all go
Forgive him his sins
