As I know for a fact
Any contrition is an act
And so my rationale is sound
Not Then / Not Now / Not Ever
What will we do when this feud ends?
Just sit around and all be friends?
Forget the hatred and bile that’s been spilled,
And hope our relationships we can rebuild?
Well it’s not for me,
You can count me out.
Of that there can be absolutely no doubt.
Because I will hold onto this grudge forever.
And I want nothing to do with you whatsoever.
