Song Lyrics

Hm, hm, hm, hm
Hmm

I don't wanna spend another day
Pointing fingers while I'm placing blame
I'm no angel, imperfect myself, 'cause baby I am only human
And I don't wanna put it all on you
I admit I did some painful things, it's true
And I'm sorry for them, no making amends
For always thinking I was innocent

Starting today, I'm gonna change
Don't wanna make the same mistakes
'Cause I can see a new horizon
The ice around my heart is melting
And the hurt I feel is slowly dying
Now I'm, no longer crying
The bridge we burnt is being built again
It's leading to a new beginning
And it may never be the way it was
And that's because I'm talking about forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness

I wish we could take back the things we said
'Cause what we said not always what we meant
We lost our heads, in the moment
And the words we used them like a weapon
But no one wins if we both walk away
And we hid behind the people we became
We're warmer than that, we're better than that
And I still cherish all the things we had

Starting today, I'm gonna change (gonna change, gonna change)
Don't wanna make the same mistakes
'Cause I can see a new horizon
The ice around my heart is melting
And the hurt I feel is slowly dying
Now I'm, no longer crying
The bridge we burnt is being built again
It's leading to a new beginning
And it may never be the way it was
And that's because I'm talking about forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness

If everybody could forgive and forget (just forget)
Think of all the time that we could spend, being friends
Think about all the lives we could change
And all the love we could make
Baby how the world would be a better place
In the end, oh

Starting today, I hope that we will change
And not make the same mistakes, you know that
I can see a new horizon
The ice around my heart is melting
And the hurt I feel is slowly dying
And I'm no longer crying (no, no, no)
The bridge we burnt is being built again
It's leading to a new beginning
And it may never be the way it was
And that's because I'm talking about forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness

Forgiveness (forgiveness)
Forgiveness
Forgiveness
Forgiveness, forgiveness
Forgiveness

(Forgiveness) if everybody could just forgive
(Forgiveness) the world would be a much better place
Oh
(Forgiveness) forgiveness
