Forgiveness
Chris Dupont Lyrics

All the memories been weighing down on me
The memories of our past actions are adversely affecting my present.

Heavily, clouded by the lies that I believed.
The memories are difficult to bear because they are associated with the lies I believed.

I've carried them long.
These memories have been a burden for a long time.

And I confide, I can barely get myself to sleep at night
The burden of these memories is so great that they keep me awake at night.

Digging through the memory to see your side.
I am constantly trying to understand your perspective by going through these painful memories.

I still think you're wrong.
Despite trying to understand your perspective, I still believe that you were wrong.

If there's no forgiveness
If I am not forgiven for what I did, or if I cannot forgive you, then

How'm I gonna get any rest
it will be difficult for me to find peace and rest.

With the ghosts in my head
The memories of our past actions will continue to haunt me.

Winding me tight to shallow breath
These memories are causing me to feel anxious and suffocated.

If the words that you said
If your words or actions

Didn't have to be what you meant
were not intended to hurt or harm me,

Maybe I could live with it
then perhaps I would be able to let go, move on, and find peace.

I want to tell the truth, lay it on the table there in front of you
I want to be honest with you and share everything that is weighing me down.

Look upon the pile of damaged goods,
I want you to see the extent of the damage that has been done.

You claim you never knew
You say that you were unaware of the harm that was caused.

I want to make you hurt, let you feel the gravity in every word
Part of me wants you to feel the same pain that I am feeling.

I could give a lesson that you should've learned
I could try to teach you a lesson that you should have already known.

But what kind of good would that do?
But I know that this would not bring any true resolution to the situation.
