We were only human and we made mistakes

And like always we made up and forgave

But the journey to forgiveness was always strange and faulty

You say you're sorry because you messed up

You broke a promise, you hurt my feelings

You say you're sorry cause you feel bad about what you did

I'm upset with you because you messed up

I was lied to, I got my feelings hurt

I am upset with you because you should feel bad for what you did

You are upset, sad and angry at yourself

You hate that you did it again

You hate that you hurt me again

You hate that you could have handled it better

You hate that despite your words you broke your promises

I hate that you did it again

I hate that you hurt me again

I hate that you know how to treat me well and didn't

I hate that despite everything I believed your words and fell for it again

You apologize again and again

I listen again and again

And then I think

You are upset

You are sad

You are unhappy

And I want you to not be

Just like that I forgive and I do the unthinkable

I take the blame

I apologize for the situation

I beg for forgiveness

I can't bear to see you unhappy so I make myself the culprit

I must have overreacted

I must have been too harsh

I must have be the one to take the blame because it means you'll stop being sad

And strangely enough that's both love and foolishness

But you know better

You don't take the easy route to forgiveness

You accept that you made a mistake

You make sure I know that you are guilty

You make sure that I don't blame myself for the situation

And strangely enough that's both love and foolishness

In the end, we're both at fault somewhere

And we're both innocent somewhere else

The world is how it is because we make it so

Its faults are our faults

And our faults are its fault.

What a faulty way of life.
