[Intro] I said I’d forgive you— I didn’t say I’d forget. [Verse 1] You came at me sideways, teeth behind a smile Talking about my habits like you knew me all the while Pointing fingers, naming sins you never tried to hide Then you flipped it on me, blamed me for what’s eating you inside Yeah, you drew that line—what’s clean, what’s dirt Then crossed it yourself just to see if it’d hurt Said it wasn’t my taste—you made it real clear You didn’t have a taste for me anywhere near I stayed solid, you shifted the frame Turned truth into leverage, then called it my name Said you were honest, but dodged what was real Now I’m the one left holding what you couldn’t feel [Pre-Chorus] You start with truth, dress it up in lies Little bit of wisdom just to compromise Call it love, call it pride—call it what you need I call it something that’s bleeding me [Chorus] I’ll always forgive you, but I don’t forget You left your faith here, I’m holding what’s left You walked away clean, I’m covered in this Love like a fist, love like a fist I’ll carry the weight, you dropped and you ran Trust in my hands, blood in the sand You said it was nothing, I’m living in it Love like a fist, love like a fist [Verse 2] No apologies, you said it’s all in my head But we both know the truth in the things left unsaid If you can’t explain it, don’t try to defend You can’t build a bridge if you won’t even bend Confidence cracking, piece by piece You call that calm, I call it retreat You threw your stones, I swallowed the sound Now you want back in when there’s nothing left found You kept your distance but stayed on the line Close enough to pull, too far to define Said I was heavy, said I was too much But you kept coming back for the same damn touch [Pre-Chorus] Take your time, I ain’t chasing ghosts You can keep your silence, I’ve had it the most You made your choice, now carry that weight Don’t come back knocking expecting the same [Chorus] I’ll always forgive you, but I don’t forget You left your faith here, I’m holding what’s left You walked away clean, I’m covered in this Love like a fist, love like a fist I’ll carry the weight, you dropped and you ran Trust in my hands, blood in the sand You said it was nothing, I’m living in it Love like a fist, love like a fist [Breakdown] You don’t get to erase this You don’t get to replace this Words without words—yeah, I heard ’em all Now you wanna take it back? Watch it fall You knew who I was Still packed me second best Now you wanna come home But there ain’t nothing left No space No grace Feel the weight [Bridge] We should’ve left the same faith we brought in But you took yours back, piece by piece I stood there holding what you dropped Trying to make sense of the silence you keep You said it was simple I felt it collapse You walked away easy I carry the past [Final Chorus] I’ll always forgive you, but I don’t forget You burned that trust down, I’m living in it You had your shot, now sit with the mess Love like a fist, love like a— I won’t erase it I won’t pretend You don’t just break and come back again This is the line This is the end Love like a fist, love like a— [Outro] Fist. Forgiveness ain’t freedom.
