I couldn't see I was the only hostage

To the bitterness I can't let go

Maybe now it's time to cut my losses

Move on, move on, move on.

Oh, I can't believe how long it's lasted

I can feel it coming up these bones

There's a part of me that can't get past it

I know, I know, I know.

'cause when you forgive someone

You set yourself free

Oh, when you forgive someone

You set yourself free.

Oh, it's not easy

Oh, it's not easy

When you forgive someone

You set yourself

You set yourself

You set yourself free.

I got these reasons that I just can't get there

They hold me down like the hounds of hell

But I can tell you that the journey to justice

It never ends up fair.

'cause when you forgive someone

You set yourself free

Oh, when you forgive someone

You set yourself free.

Oh, it's not easy

Oh, it's not easy

When you forgive someone

You set yourself

You set yourself

You set yourself free.

All that's heavy on my soul

Lay it down and let it go

All that's heavy on my soul

Lay it down and let it go.

'cause when you forgive someone

You set yourself free

Oh, when you forgive someone

You set yourself free.

Oh, it's not easy

Oh, it's not easy

When you forgive someone

You set yourself

You set yourself

You set yourself free.
