letra de when i forgive you - sasha allen (us)

[verse 1]
my grandma grew up in the ’30s
she’s a catholic through and through
i would have understood
if she had been abrasive and confused
she could have turned away
and simply washed her hands of it
instead she’s bragging to her friends
how great her grandson is

[interlude]
sasha, this is grandma. i love you

[verse 2]
it makes me wonder
would it all change if we just sat down to speak?
i’m not fed up with you for fearing something that you’ve never seen
when people painted you a picture of who i am supposedly
it’s not surprising that you’re trying to not get too close to me

[chorus]
all your violеnce
all your venom
won’t come closе to getting rid of me
and at the pearly gates
all those statements you made
will suddenly be things you didn’t really mean
i find it strange to hold such hatred for a stranger
you’ll find it strange when i hold kindness to your anger
i find it strange, this shape you mold me into
and you’ll find it strange when i forgive you
[verse 3]
my grandma grew up in a catholic school
and never misses mass
i wouldn’t blame her if at her age
it was all too much to grasp
and she don’t know all of the proper terminology and words
but at 83, her love for me is what made her wanna learn
’cause i’m not an act of revolution
that you’re watching on the news
i bet you’d like me if we talked
i bet you wouldn’t have a clue
and when the swords are to the side
when the army finally falls
you’ll see we’re just two human beings
not too different after all

[chorus]
all your violence
all your venom
won’t come close to getting rid of me
and at the pearly gates
all those statements you made
will suddenly be things you didn’t really mean
i find it strange to hold such hatred for a stranger
you’ll find it strange when i hold kindness to your anger
i find it strange, this shape you mold me into
and you’ll find it strange when i forgive you
when i forgive you
