what’s the use

[Verse 1]

You were a dove so peaceful in the morning

I've seen you start fires with your hands

You were a bruise on the back side of my ankle

I've seen you burn out and start again

[Chorus]

What's the use?

Oh, what's the use?

Oh, what's the use if you're not trying to forgive?

[Verse 2]

You were a boulder destructive with your anger

I've seen you move mountains with your eyes

I was afraid when I lost my identity

Inside of you, I guess we were the same

[Chorus]

What's the use?

Oh, what's the use?

Oh, what's the use?

Oh, what's the use when?

What's the use if you're not trying to forgive?

Oh, what's the use if you're not trying to forgive?

[Verse 3]

You were a dove so peaceful in the morning

But I've seen you take many different forms

And I was so sure that you had all the answers

Because of you I'm capable of more

I'm capable of more

[Chorus]

What's the use?

Oh, what's the use?

Oh, what's the use if you're not trying to forgive?

Oh, what's the use if you're not trying to forgive?

What's the use if you're not trying to forgive?
