Forgive
Healing Hearts: The Power of Forgiveness in 'Forgive' by The Red Clay Strays
Lyrics
I didn't ask for this pain I got
I didn't choose or request the emotional pain I'm experiencing.
Maybe I deserved it, maybe not
I might have done something to warrant this pain, but it's uncertain.
Well I pushed it all down and I tried to forget
I suppressed my emotions and attempted to forget the pain.
But it hurts so much living with regret
The pain of regret is deeply distressing.
I see your face in my dreams at night
Your image appears in my dreams.
I wake in tears and I cry with spite
I wake up crying and feeling resentful.
Woman you broke me in ways that you'll never know
You've hurt me in ways you're unaware of.
And everyone tells me to let it go
Others advise me to move on from this hurt.
I been holding on for so long
I've been holding onto this pain for a significant duration.
And I don't know how else to live
I don't know any other way to exist.
Well I want to hate you still but God knows I never will
I have the desire to continue hating you, but it's unlikely to happen.
Move on with my life unless I forgive
Unless I forgive, I cannot progress with my life.
It's easy to hold on to the pain you feel
It's easier to cling to the familiar pain than to forgive.
Forgiveness ain't easy but that's how you heal
Forgiveness is difficult but essential for healing.
Bitterness promises relief through revenge
Bitterness seems to offer relief through seeking revenge.
But love is a medicine to make amends
Love is the remedy for making things right.
I been holding on for so long
I've been unable to let go of this pain for a prolonged period.
And I don't know how else to live
I'm uncertain about how to live differently.
Well I want to hate you still but God knows I never will
I still have the inclination to hate you, but it's improbable.
Move on with my life unless I forgive
Forgiveness is necessary to move forward in life.
I been holding on for so long
I've been holding onto this pain for a significant duration.
And I don't know how else to live
I don't know any other way to exist.
I want to hate you still but God knows I never will
I desire to hate you, but it's improbable that I ever will.
Move on with my life unless I forgive
Forgiveness is crucial for me to progress in life.
