the grudge

I have nightmares each week about that Friday in MayOne phone call from youand my entire world was changedTrust that you betrayedConfusion that still lingersTook everything I loved and crushed itin between your fingersAnd I doubt you ever think about the damage that you didBut I hold on to every detaillike my life depends on itMy undying love, now, I hold it like a grudgeAnd I hear your voice every time that I think I'm not enoughAnd I try to be tough, but I wanna screamHow could anybody dothe things you did so easily?And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fineBut you know I can't let it goI've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so longIt takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strongThe arguments that I've won against you in my headIn the shower, in the car and in the mirror before bedYeah, I'm so tough when I'm aloneand I make you feel so guiltyAnd I fantasize about a timeyou're a little fucking sorryAnd I try to understand why you would do this all to meYou must be insecure, you must be so unhappyAnd I know, in my heart, hurt people hurt peopleAnd we both drew blood, but, manthose cuts were never equalAnd I try to be tough, but I wanna screamHow could anybody dothe things you did so easily?And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fineBut you know I can't let it go, I've triedI've tried, I've tried for so longIt takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strongOoh, do you think I deserved it all?Ooh, your flowers filled with vitriolYou built me up to watch me fallYou have everything and you still want moreI try to be tough, I try to be meanBut even after all this, you're still everything to meAnd I know you don't care, I guess that that's fineBut you know I can't let it go, I've triedI've tried, I've tried for so longIt takes strength to forgivebut I'm not quite sure I'm there yetIt takes strength to forgive, but
