it's a shame you're not around for all the   birthdays, graduation ceremonies, holidays and the like   you'll never hear the sound of all the laughing and the whining   and the fighting of the people you loved   or so you say   you never wanted any of it anyway      but it's ok, it's in our dear hearts to forgive you   we never should forgive you   just waste away the memories that kept you going   honesty you kept from knowing      look there's another frown   it's on the face of a little girl who still can't comprehend   the world she lives in   she hasn't figured out that you're not ever coming back   i bet you didn't even think about that   but it's okay   you never wanted any of it anyway      but it's ok, it's in our dear hearts to forgive you   we never should forgive you   just waste away the memories that kept you going   honesty you kept from knowing      and now the summer's almost gone   and we have had time to accept the loss   still every day we'll think about you   and we miss you so goddamn much      well now you're underground and you're not missing much   i guess only time will tell the story the best   it's coming back around   i understand what you were feeling and i am truly believing because   all that i had and all of my past experiences   and all my regrets   i never wanted any of it anyway      but it's ok, it's in our dear hearts to forgive you   we never should forgive you   just waste away the memories that kept you going   honesty you kept from knowing      but it's ok, it's in our dear hearts to forgive you   we never should forgive you   but it's ok   it's in our dear hearts to forgive you   you know that i forgive you
