HIGH HORSE

I have been wondering
If I ever really closed the door
If that spot will ever not be sore
If it'll ever be like, ever be like before
You said your apologies
But I never had my fill
You made your peace with me
But I'm punishing you still

From my high horse
Not sure what's worse
How long can this go on
Before I am the one that's wrong

Maybe you've noticed
The sharpness in my tone
Daggered glances I have thrown
How distant I have, distant I have grown
I confess I can't forget
And I probably never will
But you have paid your debt
And yet I'm punishing you still

From my high horse
Not sure what's worse
How long can this go on
Before I am the one that's wrong

I am discovering
That the root of my resistance
And this half-hearted existence
Is simply my insistence
That it's you who did me wrong
I am perched up on this high horse
Sanctimonious, head strong
But I am discovering
Mercy is a humble song

It's taken me so long
'Cause mercy is a humble song
It's taken me so long
