Forgiving

How long did you wait
Finger and thumb
Bobby pin between them
Thought I wasn’t home
Was hoping you’d go
Without investigation

I'm on the floor
Watching the phone
With my fingers in my ears
Make no mistake
That was the last of it
But only the beginning

Charging by the minute
There’s no money in forgiving

Hand in my skin
Jaws in a grin
Find the red and twist it

Turn me inside out
Shake me up and down
Looking for loose change
To take
There’s no relief
That was the last of it but only the beginning

Charging by the minute
There’s no money in forgiving

Blondie stole my locket
I'm not superstitious but
I knew the sign right when I saw it
Stared me in the face
I closed my eyes, I looked away

Charging by the minute
There’s no money in forgiving
There’s no money in forgiving
