Anaïs Mitchell - You Are Forgiven lyrics

Every lump inside your throat Every crumpled little note Every idle dial tone Every hook you hung it on Everything you should have said Everything you said instead On the stairs and in the halls Everywhere but where he was Anything you tried to do Any way he looked at you He was never one to praise Anybody to his face Anything he should have said Anything he said instead In the empty corridor Anywhere but where you were You are, you are forgiven Looked in the mirror Couldn't believe what you saw He is as near to you Now as he ever was Grinding your teeth Trying to sleep it off Waking up with an aching jaw You are, you are, you are forgiven You are, you are, you are forgiven You are, you are, you are forgiven You are, you are, you are forgiven
