Lyrics

Title: I Forgive You
[Verse 1]
You call yourself my mother, but I don't know who you are
Sometimes I wonder if you've wandered off too far
You turn your bitterness into a storm of pain
Destroying everything, and walking off again
To you, the world’s a war that never seems to cease
But any trace of guilt is buried under peace
You made it your mission just to watch me break
Aiming for my heart with every word you fake
Poisoned accusations, like arrows you release
Endless monologues, you never find your peace
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I wish that I could act like I don’t care
But it cuts so deep, I just scream into the air
[Chorus]
You are my deepest wound, the one that never heals
You scarred my childhood, shaped the pain I feel
But I won’t be bitter, though I carry the weight
I choose to forgive, instead of choosing hate
I wish I could travel back in time to find
The mother you needed, warm and kind
In a home full of love, where your soul could mend
So I forgive you — this is not the end
[Verse 2]
I wish that you had been the one to light my way
Instead of being the ghost that haunts my yesterdays
Even now you fight me, like I’m your sworn foe
You’re losing me more with every blow
You no longer guide me, you’re no northern star
I found my path alone, though wounded from the scars
Broken inside, my empire’s built on pain
That’s why I won’t go looking back again
I will not be a victim of your storm and shade
I’m a fighter in the fire, and I won't fade
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I wish that I could act like I don’t care
But it cuts so deep, I just scream into the air
[Chorus]
You were my greatest fear, but I learned to defend
You carved out my past, but it’s not the end
Though shadows linger, I turned from your flame
And rose from the ashes, shedding the blame
I wish I could travel back in time to find
The mother you needed, gentle and kind
To teach you love, where it never had been
So I forgive you — let the healing begin
[Bridge]
No, I’ll never forget what you did to me
But I found the strength to set myself free
This is not surrender, it’s reclaiming light
Forgiveness is my battle, and I choose to fight
[Final Chorus]
You are my deepest wound, the one that never healed
But I’ve faced the storm, and my truth's revealed
I won’t be bitter, I won’t wear your pain
I forgive you now — let it wash like rain
If I could be the mother you never knew
I’d hold you close, and carry you through
But here we are, and this is how it ends
I forgive you… and the heart begins to mend
