I forgive to breathe
The knives in my wounds
To let the anxiety slide
And to recognize the child
I was in the mirror
Whether it rains, whether it snows
To escape the grip
I forgive the past, the future
So that those who've done me
I forgive, wrong or right
Bitterness isn't my home
Rage yes, but not resentment
Anger but not spite
I forgive and I want to hope
That they can forgive me too
I forgive you, I forgive myself
But I remember everything
That they made fun of me
For my face, for my voice
But I gather the crumbs
And I forgive at the top of my lungs
No grudge, no debt
That stayed stuck
In a throat or in the air
Everything I wasn't given
I went and got it
I forgive, wrong or right
Bitterness isn't my home
Rage yes, but not resentment
Anger but not spite
I forgive and I want to hope
That they can forgive me too
I forgive you, I forgive myself
But I remember everything
I forgive left and right
Every spark, every glimmer
I forgive and I want to hope
That they can forgive me too
I forgive you, I forgive myself
But I remember everything
I forgive you, I forgive myself
But I remember everything
