lyrics

I have a tongue that splits into two parts
I tend to say things that are harsh
They slip from my lips and they poison your heart
But that was never my intent

You sent me away
You've got me locked up in Guantanamo Bay
And I'll stay in a cage
The execution is set but you won't tell me the day
I said "forgive me" but that's not an easy thing to do

A man robbed a slew of banks
His children were shocked and ashamed
They called the five-o and they turned in his name
Now daddy lives in jail

They sent him away
They've got him locked up in Guantanamo Bay
And he'll stay in a cage
The execution is set but they won't tell him the day
He said "forgive me" but that's not an easy thing to do.

I'm reading my words
Reading my words that are broken
Words that are broken
Now I'm eating my words
Eating my words that are broken
Words that are broken
And we can't forgive
No we can't forgive what is broken
Forgive what is broken.

"Forgive me"
That's not an easy thing
An easy thing
An easy thing to do
