"What You Can't Forget" lyrics

"What You Can't Forget"

There were no secrets between us, or so I thought
Nothing could ever defeat us, and other lies I bought
Some days I still can't believe it, the lines we've crossed
And the pain we've caused

I gave up my heart, believed in "I do"
Now "till death do us part" looks too good to be true

How do you forgive what you can't forget?
How do you let go and learn to try again?
This hurt I feel says I don't think you're ready yet
Someone tell me this: how do you forgive what you can't forget?

Some say forgiveness is weakness, but now I know
The truest picture of courage is letting go
I'm holding on to the hope that I'm not done
And someday my healing will come

Wounds become scars when placed in your hands
Lord, help me to do what I can't

How do you forgive what you can't forget?
How do you let go and learn to try again?
This hurt I feel says I don't think you're ready yet
Someone tell me this: how do you forgive what you can't forget?

What you can't forget

How do you forgive what you can't forget?
How do you let go and learn to try again?
This hurt I feel says I don't think you're ready yet
Someone tell me this, someone tell me this

How do you forgive when the pain is deep?
How do you move on when someone leaves?
This hurt I feel says I don't think you're ready yet
Someone tell me this: how do you forgive what you can't forget?
What you can't forget
