Forgiveness

Found an old note in my jacket All the harsh words I believed Folded up like a little confession From the girl I used to be I’m gonna let myself off the hook this time Stop throwing every small mistake into the fire I’ve been the judge The jury The loudest lie Tonight I choose forgiveness Starting on my side I replay scenes like a movie Freeze-frame every awkward line But I’m tired of hunting for failures In every corner of my mind I’m gonna let myself off the hook this time Stop throwing every small mistake into the fire I’ve been the judge The jury The loudest lie Tonight I choose forgiveness Starting on my side What if I talked to myself Like I talk to my friends? What if the story I’m holding Gets a kinder end? I’m gonna let myself off the hook this time Stop throwing every small mistake into the fire I’ve been the judge The jury The loudest lie Tonight I choose forgiveness Yeah Tonight I choose forgiveness Starting on my side
