Your Smile is Forgiveness

Out of the frying pan

And into the fire

There’s too much heat

For you to handle

So you take a step back

Put your hands in your pockets

But the seed has

Already been planted

And your smile is forgiveness

Even before the sin

I’ll follow you to the doorway

Where your eyes find the unmade bed

It’s not right your lips pray

But the tangled sheets are already stained red

Arms holding it all in

And you sit in screaming silence

Put your hand on my chin

As you lean in for another kiss

And your smile is forgiveness

Even before the sin

Hand in hand

This shouldn’t have happened

It won’t happen again

You’ve taken the biggest part of me

And I’ve taken you

My soul keeps reaching for that piece

But you stay on the move

It’s still wrong

But I’m finally starting to win

cause your smile is forgiveness

Even before the sin
