Amends Lyrics - Strange Little Birds - Garbage

You gave an inch, I took a mile 

You lit a match, I set a fire 

You know they say to make amends 

Face to face 

And though I know it's not my place 

To tell you how to live your life 

But to forget somebody's sins 

Is divine, is divine 

There is nothing you could say 

To cause more hurt, or cause me shame 

Than all the things that I have thought 

About myself 

It's been so long and time has passed 

We are both changed yet nothing has 

When will you let me off the hook 

And let me pass? 

When the chains on the fence break 

And free the insane 

They can't wait to deliver bad news 

It's what you do, don't make it right 

Matter of fact, it's called revenge 

Cut off your nose to spite your face 

It's pretty cruel shutting me out 

It's what you do, don't make it right 

Matter of fact, it's called revenge 

Cut off your nose to spite your face 

It's pretty cruel shutting me out 

I used no knives, I didn't lie 

I didn't mess around, or even tried 

When they were lined up round the block 

I sat and watched 

So it's a shame that we don't talk 

I miss your face and life is short 

Get off your cross 'cause long goodbyes 

Come every time, come every time 

It's time to change your mind 

It's time to change your mind 

Don't you be too proud 

It's time to change your mind 

'Cause I don't know, don't know you 

'Cause I don't know, don't know you 

'Cause I don't know, don't know you 

'Cause I don't know, don't know you 

'Cause I don't know, don't know you
