Just the mention of your name
I get a sudden rush of pain
And add up all the things I blame you for
I bet if I could count the ways
I’ve let this hatred have it’s way
I’d wonder what the hell I’ve been living for
And it’s no good
Holding on to a world of wrong
No it ain’t no good
It’s eating me alive
What if I liberate you
Maybe I’d be liberated too
If I forgive you
Forgetting would be a lot easier to do
If I could liberate you
In this life we’re all the same
We fall until we find our way
And I ain’t no exception to the rule
I want the grace to let you go
But when the rubber meets the road
This rambling man still has a point to prove
And it’s no good
To keep you barred in these prison walls
No it ain’t no good
I gotta let you go
What if I liberate you
Maybe I’d be liberated too
If I forgive you
Forgetting would be a lot easier to do
If I could liberate you
You ain’t losing no sleep
Lying there thinking about me
When am I gonna believe
That peace is mine to choose
What if I…
What if I…
You see, if I forgive
Forgetting would be a lot easier to do
What if I liberate you
Maybe I’d be liberated too
If I forgive you
Forgetting would be a lot easier to do
If I could liberate you
If I could liberate you
