forgive you

Singer:battles, mark

i guess it's time to tell it

put it in the verse makes it easier this way

if you ever did me wrong

why let it go and fade

was holding it all in like i wasn't supposed to say

was told you try to get the time and let it go away

but it's not true now they ain't true

put up a wall started out small

but then that pain grew i had to let it all

now hope we got the same view

my past made me who i am so in the way i thank you

promises you broke got the lies that you told

couldn't keep it in yeah had to let it go

since i got the chance i just wanna let you know

that i forgive you

yeah i forgive you

i forgive you

the people that would doubt

the girls it ran out

every night my step dad would slap my mama in the mouth

choke me half the death and try to kick me out the house

but i forgive you

yeah i forgive you

i forgive you

i'm just telling you how it was

too blessed to hold the grudge

thank the man above now look back and then shrug

became a man from what i've been through

so i forgive you

yeah i forgive you

i don't like to say i hate you

look we can't get through

forgive me i forgave you

neither of us was faithful

you blame me and i blame you

life's a dirty game true

feelings make it painful but life it gotta go on

i admire that you're so strong

you really can't pull on

hoping things go wrong

for the other person

never ends up working

one thing is for certain the lesson's served its purpose

promises you broke got the lies that you told

couldn't keep it in yeah had to let it go

since i got the chance i just wanna let you know

that i forgive you

yeah i forgive you

i forgive you

the people that would doubt

the girls it ran out

every night my step dad would slap my mama in the mouth

choke me half the death and try to kick me out the house

but i forgive you

yeah i forgive you

i forgive you

i'm just telling you how it was

too blessed to hold the grudge

thank the man above now look back and then shrug

became a man from what i've been through

so i forgive you

yeah i forgive you

imagine being teen watching your mama get beat

chase down the street a gun pointed at her cheek

i know it's so descriptive it's what i have to witness

who knows how it would've ended

if you had not went to prison

but you in it and change

turned the god and got saved

and my mama was so amazed for me

it was hard until today

but now the hate went away

so all i wanna say

all i gotta say

all the promises i broke

all the lies that i told

don't you keep it in

i just hope you let me know

cause since you got your chance is your time to let it go

hope you forgive me

hope you forgive me
