I've been carrying around this pain I've been dragging it like a chain A million tons of steel This hurt is drowning me inside It's like an ocean deep and wide And you were and anchor pulling me down Pulling me down And I've cursed your name I've tried to numb the pain There's no whiskey, there's no pills To change the way it feels And I've prayed and prayed For it to go away There's only one thing left for me to do I forgive you I learned I had to set it free Hating you was only hurting me Like poison I had to let go of the dream That our past could ever be Anything but what it was Any different that it was And I've cursed your name I've tried to numb the pain There's no whiskey, there's no pills To change the way it feels And I've prayed and prayed For it to go away There's only one thing left for me to do I forgive you I forgive you And I've cursed your name I've tried to numb the pain There's no whiskey, there's no pills To change the way it feels And I've prayed and prayed For it to go away There's only one thing left for me to do The only thing for me to do Is forgive you
