I AIN'T IN THE MOOD TO FORGIVE

Intro

Verse 1 Your knock still sounds like sorry Three soft, two hard, like always I used to run to that rhythm Keep your plate warm on the stove I bailed you out in two counties Lied to her with a smile Said "your brother's gonna make it" Drove you home a hundred miles

Pre-Chorus Every well's got a bottom Every light bill's got a due She spent her last good mornings Askin' after you

Chorus I ain't in the mood to forgive This door's been open all night for years Knock that knock till your knuckles split There's a hole where the mercy lived

Verse 2 You showed up three days after the dirt Smellin' like the reason why She held your name like a candle Right up till the night she died I carried the front-left corner Your corner went to a neighbor And you ain't even sayin' sorry You're just hungry and out of friends

Pre-Chorus Every well's got a bottom Every light bill's got a due She spent her last good mornings Askin' after you

Chorus I ain't in the mood to forgive This door's been open all night for years Knock that knock till your knuckles split There's a hole where the mercy lived

Bridge Maybe you'll get clean by springtime Maybe this time the program sticks I hope to God you make it For her sake, not for mine She forgave you every goddamn time I buried all the forgive I had with her I ain't in the mood to forgive This door's been open all night for years Knock that knock till your knuckles split There's a hole where the mercy lived Take your shit out of my hallway Drop my key in the dish

Outro [Spoken, tired, quiet] She'd have let you in. I'm not her. Lock it behind you.
