"Forgive" lyrics - THE RED CLAY STRAYS

I didn't ask for this pain I got
Maybe I deserved it, maybe not
Well, I pushed it all down and I tried to forget
But it hurts so much living with regret

I see your face in my dreams at night
I wake in tears and I cry with spite
Woman, you broke me in ways that you'll never know
And everyone tells me to let it go

I've been holding on for so long
And I don't know how else to live
Well, I want to hate you still, but God knows I never will
Move on with my life unless I forgive

It's easy to hold on to the pain you feel
Forgiveness ain't easy, but that's how you heal
Bitterness promises relief through revenge
But love is medicine to make amends

I've been holding on for so long
And I don't know how else to live
Well, I want to hate you still, but God knows I never will
Move on with my life unless I forgive

I've been holding on for so long
And I don't know how else to live
Well, I want to hate you still, but God knows I never will
Move on with my life unless I forgive
