[Verse]
You slithered back, snake on the cobblestones
Thought the past erased, like chalk on a blackboard thrown
Memories sharp, glass in the soles of my shoes
You left wounds, now you think you can choose
Apologies cheap, counterfeit bills in the pocket
Tried to lock it, but my heart's no rusty locket
You ain't Houdini, can't escape what you did
Forgiveness ain't magic, I ain't no naive kid
[Chorus]
Forgiveness not an option, nah, not today
You can beg, you can plead, but I won't sway
This is my anthem, my soul won't decay
Forgiveness not an option, not today
[Verse 2]
Tears you shed now, crocodile streams
I see through the seams, unravel your schemes
Violin strings hum, pain in every note
But I won’t drown, this time I’ll float
Your words hollow, echoes in an empty hall
Promises tumble, like a wrecking ball
The gospel hums deep, redemption’s a price
But I ain't buying what you sell, no dice
[Bridge]
You think time heals all? Nah, it just hardens
Frost on my chest, ain't no spring in this garden
My peace ain't a prize you can just reclaim
You lit the fire, now you burn in the flame
