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
