Stem The Flow
Paris Paloma
AF#mC#mD
I don'tA think you ever loved me
And I have to believe that now
'Cause otherF#mwise I'll look for love like yours
In every place around
The loveC#m that flows like blood does
That I'll search for through the years
You speakD through gritted teeth
Saying, "My darling, I'm right here"
AndA it is not my fault, it's something I was learning
IF#m only feel at home now, in a home when it is burning
AfterC#m gathering this knowledge
I have to face the truth, that youD never loved me
But I tried so hard to love you
And IA want you to try
So that I canF#m thank you for trying
And thenC#m maybe that'll make you try someD more
In theA whites of your eyes
I can see theyF#m know of your crimes
But confession won'tE slip willingly past your lips
Until you're on death'sD door
It's not in myF#m nature to forgive bad beEhaviour
Except when it'sA yours
And what makes me goA crazy
I can never slam the door
If you walked in rightF#m now
With a new lie then I'd be yours
You'veC#m always got a foot in
You've always got a start
And theD fact you never take that chance
It fucking breaks my heart
And nowA I'm unforgiving
My mother doesn't understand
I wasn'tF#m born an angry child
But I became an angry man
And IA want you to try
So that I canF#m thank you for trying
And thenC#m maybe that'll make you try someD more
IA can't stem the flow andF#m God only knows
Where you hide yourC#m stash of brokenE glass
As the redD pours
It's not in myF#m nature, it's not in myE nature
AF#mC#mD
AForgiveness was never my strong suit
DBut neither was giving up on you
EForgiveness was never my strongD suit
And IA want you to try
So that I canF#m thank you for trying
And thenE maybe that'll make you try someD more
IF#m can't stem the flow andD God only knows
Where you hide yourC#m stash of brokenE glass
As the redD pours
AI want you to try
So that I canF#m thank you for trying
And thenE maybe that'll make you try someD more
I can't stem theF#m flow and God onlyC#m knows
It's not in myA nature to forgive badE behaviour
EspeciallyF#m yours
