Shards Songtext
von Trillium

I tried moving with grace
At the pinnacle of our failure
But you were only saving face
And after all of our mistakes
And all the changes I′m still the same
I thank God for all my strength

And now, I'm much better off today
Though it cost me so much pain
Now you sure won′t ban me from play

Could you not forgive?
And can you not forget?
Bitterness is no remedy
In sorting through this pile of glass
You ask me to forgive
And say you'll be my friend
Your ignorance is a malady
In sorting through these shards of broken glass


It's so painfully cliché
How you wanted to play the savior
Without owning any blame
You might have dodged the ricochet
But there are dues that you left unpaid
And it′ll all come back one day

And I know much better than to wait
′Cause we lost a losing game
And it cost me to this day

Could you not forgive?
And can you not forget?
Bitterness is no remedy
In sorting through this pile of glass
You ask me to forgive
And say you'll be my friend
Your ignorance is a malady
In sorting through these shards

Your borrowed olive branch is no apology
And you can take back
All of your new-found Chinese philosophy
But can you answer this
Who do you think you are?
And who do you think you are?
I′ll put all your life to rest in the graveyard of my heart


How can you ask me?
Could you not forgive?
And can you not forget?
Bitterness is no remedy
In sorting through this pile of glass
You ask me to forgive
'Cause you wanna be my friend
But your ignorance is a malady
In sorting through these shards of broken glass

How can you leave the mess?
And never forget
What you′ll never regret
And never forget what you'll never regret
And never forget what you′ll never regret
And never forget what you'll never regret
