Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Sometimes the hardest person for you to forgive
Is the one you see in the mirror everyday
It's time for you to get free

I've decided to stop replaying regrets
And I've decided to tell my past by
I cannot change what I did
But I did change what you gave
When you took my place
No more guilt but grace
Feel it all went too long
Watching reruns of my wrongs
Take the shame away
Reliving mistakes you wash away

I forgive me
I forgive me
I forgive me
I forgive me

Now I know it was wrong
Carried this weight for too long

I forgive me
I forgive me
I forgive me
I forgive me

Now I know it was wrong
Carried this weight for too long
I forgive me

I'm letting it go
I'm letting it go
You won't steal my future anymore
I'm letting it go
I'm letting it go
You won't steal my future anymore
I'm letting it go
I'm letting it go
You won't steal my future anymore
I'm letting it go
I'm letting it go
You won't steal my future anymore

Oh oh ooooh, oh oh ooooh
You won't steal my future anymore
Oh oh ooooh, oh oh ooooh
You won't steal my future anymore
Oh oh ooooh, oh oh ooooh
You won't steal my future anymore
Oh oh ooooh, oh oh ooooh

I forgive me
I forgive me
I forgive me
I forgive me
