I don't count the scars

The night keeps painting shadows on my windowpane Never speaks about the love that turned to pain So many words got lost between the written lines So many dreams disappeared with passing time They all say that time can heal the heart Yet memories never fall apart Sometimes the ones we've finally forgiven Are the ones we never want to see Not because we're holding on to anger Something died too deep inside of me Sometimes the ones we've finally forgiven Are the voices we don't need to hear We left the past where it belongs forever There's no reason to return back there I don't count the scars, I don't keep the score I just know what closing every door is for There's no hate left burning in my soul tonight Only strangers where there once was light Though it's all behind us now at last Not every road is meant to meet the past Sometimes the ones we've finally forgiven Are the ones we never want to see 'Cause the love we built with both our hearts together Still refuses just to fade from me Sometimes the ones we've finally forgiven Are the ones we're scared one day we'll meet Just one look into each other's eyes again Brings back every heartbeat we used to keep Forgiveness doesn't mean we'll trust again Or walk back through the same old broken door Some people stay forever in our memories But they don't belong beside us anymore Sometimes the ones we've finally forgiven Are the ones we never want to see We let them go, we laid our blame to rest But our hearts still need eternity Sometimes the ones we've finally forgiven Are the names we never say out loud It hurt too long and cut too deep inside To pretend we're still the same somehow Sometimes the ones we've finally forgiven Are the ones we never want to see Everything has passed, the weight is finally gone We chose to live and just be free
