I DON’T WANT TO FORGIVE YOU
VERSE
I told me that I didn’t need you,
To lose you wasn’t such a big deal,
And yet, the more I tried believing,
The angrier I started to feel.
CHORUS
I don’t want to forgive you.
My bitterness prevents me from crying.
So peddle your wares somewhere else
‘Cause I am not buying.
VERSE
I know that I had not supplied you
With ammunition to gun me down,
But like a ruthless, vicious outlaw
You shot me full of holes in this town.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I wish I would have known much sooner
That a harlot is with whom I had dealt
Instead of finding out too late about those Thousand carved-out notches in your
Leather garter belt.
VERSE
Your conscience if you’ve one feels nothing For me and others who tread before.
So why d(o) you seek my absolution?
I’m not convinced you’re once again born.
CHORUS
OUTRO
So peddle your wares somewhere else
‘Cause I am not buying.
So peddle your wares somewhere else
‘Cause I am not buying. (5-25-2002)
