Tornado

You live your life like a tornado.

Destruction follows everywhere you go.

And you have no plans to stop or slow (oh).

I will not let this bitter root grow in me.

I will not let you leave that legacy,

But it gets so hard when pain is all I see (oh).

And every time I find healing, you're making a new mess,

And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.

And I tried to remove myself from your path,

But I keep on waking up in the aftermath.

So I pick up again and say I won't look back (oh).

And I will not let this bitter root grow in me.

I will not let you leave that legacy,

But this constant fight is breaking me (oh).

And every time I find healing, you're making a new mess,

And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.

And it hurts when you hit at the hearts of the ones I love;

When everything you touch is rubble and dust.

And it gets so hard to know how to trust,

But I will not let that bitter root grow.

I will not let it, no no.

But it gets so hard (oh).

And every time I find healing you're making a new mess,

And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.

And I could move and never send you a forwarding address,

Or I could learn the real meaning of forgiveness.
