Acceptance (song)

[chorus]
this is my acceptance,
clearing my conscience.
"us" will forever more be past tense.
time to break the awkward silence.
this is my acceptance, acceptance, acceptance.

all I've seen in my mind replays,
i thought it was you standing there in my doorway.
but I'm so far gone now, and so are you,
my anger and pain have now been subdued.

wiping clean, my tear stained face.
plaster on a smile, just in case.
letting go, stepping onto solid ground.
you pulled me under and assumed I'd drowned.

but I'm still here, with one last request,
will you let us be friends once these memories have been repressed?

[chorus]
this is my acceptance,
clearing my conscience.
"us" will forever more be past tense.
time to break the awkward silence.
acceptance,
clear your conscience.
we will forever be past tense,
breaking my silence.

this is my emancipation paid my dues.
forget the fact that by you i was used.
you lied to me, i know it sounds cliche,
but you cheated on me, but that's all okay.

so I'm still here with my final request,
remember me as i remember you, you were my best.

[chorus]
so this is my acceptance,
clearing my conscience.
"us" will forever more be past tense.
time to break the awkward silence.
this is my acceptance, acceptance, acceptance.
