Absolution

Time to move on, kick my life into gear

And try not to think of forever

Companions in apathy, cruising the years

You and I getting by being separate together

So I packed up your things and I pushed back the thoughts

So I wouldn't be forced to consider your pain

Didn't pay any mind to the oughts and nots

Or the certainty I'd never see you again

But I see every day, guess it's with me to stay

That look as I started away

Though I wait, absolution just won't come my way

There's no one to say it's okay

But I hope and I pray anyway

You went quietly enough, I was safe, it was over

But I stopped to glance back one last time

That look as you stared at me over your shoulder

Is stuck in my heart and fixed in my mind

Your eyes spoke the words that your tongue couldn't say

In six years together, what did I ever do?

To deserve to be left and abandoned this way

For I've always been faithful and always been true

I can see every day, guess it's with me to stay

That look as I started away

Though I wait, absolution just won't come my way

There's no one to say it's okay

But I hope and I pray anyway

I can see every day, guess it's with me to stay

That look as I started away

Though I wait, absolution just won't come my way

There's no one to say it's okay

But I hope and I pray anyway
