Love Beside Me
Forgiveness Unveiled: Love's Redemption in Sarah McLachlan's Melody
Lyrics
I know now there's no one here to blame
I acknowledge that there is no one to blame for the current situation.
I could but what good would that do
While I could assign blame, it wouldn't serve any purpose or bring about positive change.
It wouldn't change a thing
Assigning blame wouldn't alter the circumstances.
So I grew accustomed to the shame
I became accustomed to feeling ashamed over time.
The sharp sting of your poison
Experiencing the intense pain of your harmful actions.
Trying so hard to erase
Struggling to eliminate the positive aspects within me.
All the good in me
Attempting to erase all the goodness within me.
If this is love beside me
Expressing uncertainty or contemplation about the nature of the love present.
I'm working on forgiveness
Actively working on forgiving and letting go.
Laying the past down behind me
Choosing to leave behind the pain and experiences of the past.
Letting go the ways that I've been hurt
Releasing the ways in which I've been emotionally wounded.
Let the rivers rise and rage
Allowing emotions to flow freely, even if they are intense.
I'll try and stand with grace
Attempting to maintain composure and dignity in the face of challenges.
If everything is love
Suggesting that love encompasses everything.
In the end the war had left us broken
Describing the aftermath of a war that has left emotional scars.
Mourning all the things I'd lost
Grieving for the things that have been lost as a result of the conflict.
The debts I couldn't pay
Dealing with unresolved obligations and burdens.
But I didn't want to disappear
Expressing a desire to continue existing despite challenges.
I was caught in TV static
Feeling emotionally static, trapped in a state of emotional numbness.
Sinking into grey
Sinking into a state of indifference or emotional monotony.
No more to give away
Having nothing more to give to the situation.
If this is love beside me
Questioning the nature of the love that is present.
I'm working on forgiveness
Actively engaged in the process of forgiving others.
Laying the past down behind me
Mentally distancing oneself from the past and its emotional burdens.
Letting go the ways that I've been hurt
Letting go of the pain and emotional injuries inflicted in the past.
Let the rivers rise and rage
Allowing emotions to rise and be expressed passionately.
I'll try to stand with grace
Striving to maintain dignity and composure amidst challenges.
If everything is love
Suggesting that love encompasses everything.
If this is love beside me
Questioning the nature of the love that is present.
I'm working on forgiveness
Actively engaged in the process of forgiving others.
Laying the past down behind me
Mentally distancing oneself from the past and its emotional burdens.
Letting go the ways that I've been hurt
Letting go of the pain and emotional injuries inflicted in the past.
Let the rivers rise and rage
Allowing emotions to rise and be expressed passionately.
I'll try to stand with grace
Striving to maintain dignity and composure amidst challenges.
If this is love beside me, oh
Expressing uncertainty or contemplation about the nature of the love present.
If this is love beside me, oh
-If this is love beside me
