The ball is firmly in your court
At the end of the chain you were given when you were caught
And now it’s time to serve your sentence
‘Cause I can’t trust you with independence

You first struck when my guard was down
Now it’s always up and you can’t break out
I waver when you show repentance
But I can’t trust you with independence

There’s an amnesty inside my heart
So I can keep my sanity through the times that we’re apart
I could keep you captive ‘til you’re no longer a threat
But if I forgive, maybe I’ll forget
