Forgiveness Suite

[Verse 1] I found your name still saved inside my phone Two years of silence humming down the line There's a letter in my drawer I never sent Ink gone faded, but the ache stayed mine [Pre-Chorus] I've been holding a stone that turned to lead Carried you like weather in my chest But my hands are so tired of the weight [Chorus] So I'm letting the river run Washing the bitterness off my tongue I forgive you, and I forgive me too Not for you, love — for the man I'm becoming Feel the door swing open, sun coming through Setting myself loose, setting myself loose [Verse 2] I caught my own reflection in a spoon Older, softer, kinder than the boy Who swore he'd never bend, never break Turns out grace was just a thing I forgot to enjoy [Pre-Chorus] I put down the ledger where I kept the score Every wrong I nursed behind my teeth Let it burn to ash and drift away [Chorus] So I'm letting the river run Washing the bitterness off my tongue I forgive you, and I forgive me too Not for you, love — for the man I'm becoming Feel the door swing open, sun coming through Setting myself loose, setting myself loose [Bridge] (Ooh) The thing about a grudge, baby It only chains the one who's holding on (holding on) And the version of me I couldn't stand? I sat down beside him, told him come along Told him come along (yeah) [Chorus] Now I'm letting the river run Warm as morning, soft as a hum I forgive you, and I forgive me too Look how tall I stand in the light I'm under Every locked-up room I'm walking through Setting myself loose (oh), setting myself loose [Outro] Free, free (ooh) The stone rolled off my chest Free, free (yeah) And I can breathe, I can finally breathe
