Make It Unforgivable Songtext
von Anton Donovan

Everybody wants to be believed
Nobody wants to pay the price of it

I′m not the gentle kind, I told you that up front
But you stayed anyway, so now I need the proof
Don't tell me that you′re with me on the comfortable days
I need you when it's ugly, when there's nothing left to say
I′ll take your quiet morning, I′ll take your Thursday night
I'll take the thing you promised someone else you′d never lose
And if you flinch, I'll notice
And if you hesitate, I′ll know
Give me something permanent
I'm tired of things that go

Say it louder ′til your throat gives out
Mean it harder 'til your hands are shaking
I don't want your thoughts, I want your signature
Something you could never take back in the morning


Make it unforgivable
So you can′t leave me halfway
Burn the only road that leads you home
And stand here in the ashes with me
Make it unforgivable
If it doesn′t cost you, it doesn't count
I need the kind of promise that your old life can′t survive

Now watch the room divide, watch everybody choose
Draw the line straight down the middle of the floor
I don't need the undecided, I don′t need the measured take
Don't bring me nuance, bring me a sacrifice
See who crosses over, see who turns their back
We don′t fall in love, we fall in line
And the ones who stay get the ones who stay
And the rest were never worth the time

Split the room, baby, then we know who's real
Then we build the walls a little higher
Then we call it family, then we call it ours

Say it louder like you chose this
Say it harder like you'd choose it again
Stain the shirt, put your hands where I can see them
Give me proof that leaves a mark that doesn′t mend


Make it unforgivable
So you can′t leave me halfway
Burn the only road that leads you home
And stand here in the ashes with me
Make it unforgivable
If it doesn't cost you, it doesn′t count
I need the kind of promise that your old life can't survive

And here′s the part I bury
It's the part I dress in white
I′m not building something holy
I'm just terrified of life

Coming through the door at 4 AM
And finding no one on the other side
Call it virtue when it hurts
Call it love when it locks
I just need you bound to something
So I know that this won't stop

Make it unforgivable
So you can′t leave me halfway
Burn the only road that leads you home
And stand here in the ashes with me
Make it unforgivable
If it doesn′t cost you, it doesn't count
I need the kind of promise (The kind of promise)

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Now say the word, now say the words
Now try to leave
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
