"Forgive" lyrics

I didn't ask for this pain I got
Maybe I deserved it, maybe not
Well, I pushed it all down and I tried to forget
But it hurts so much living with regret

I see your face in my dreams at night
I wake in tears and I cry with spite
Woman you broke me in ways that you'll never know
And everyone tells me to let it go

I've been holding on for so long
And I don't know how else to live
Well, I want to hate you still
But God knows I never will
Move on with my life unless I forgive

It's easy to hold onto the pain you feel
Forgiveness ain't easy but that's how you heal
Bitterness promises relief through revenge
But love is a medicine to make amends

I've been holding on for so long
And I don't know how else to live
Well, I want to hate you still
But God knows I never will
Move on with my life unless I forgive

I've been holding on for so long
And I don't know how else to live
Well, I want to hate you still
But God knows I never will
Move on with my life unless I forgive

Ohh ohh ohh
