spit

katy perry

if you came by me

would i crown you my king

or brush you off as though

i really didn't see

if you walked by my side

would our souls then be unified

i swore your name

would never be denied

but i took up this hammer

and laughed at all your slander

and pierced your hands

with the nails of blasphemy

how could i do this? i don't know

said something forced me to it

so

spit in your face and passed you by

but time and time again

i'd live that life of sin

i knew it hurt you bad

but i wasn't ready to give in

maybe someday

but not this day i said

i wanted to live my life

i was willing to pay the price

but i took up this hammer

and laughed at all your slander

and pierced your hands

with the nails of blasphemy

how could i do this? i don't know

said something forced me to it

so

spit in your face and passed you by

('cause i'd forgotten those words

your name won't be denied)

but looking into my eyes

i knew you felt this heart's cry

i needed you

bad my life was oh so sad

but looking back at all this pain

this guilt

this strife

would you take it all away

if i were to give you back my life?

but you said

i've forgiven thee

and you said

i've forgiven thee

and you said

i've forgiven thee

and you said

i've forgiven thee

he was hanging on a cross

with a crown of thorns

in his head

he was hanging on a cross

with a crown of thorns

in his head

he was hanging on a cross

with a crown of thorns

in his head

he was hanging on a cross

with a crown of thorns

in his head

and you said

i've forgiven thee

and you said

i've forgiven thee

and you said

i've forgiven thee

and you said

i've forgiven thee
