I've been lookin' at things in a negative light

Clippin' my wings in the middle of flight

My motor is running on the heartaches of life

But it's gettin' me nowhere fast

I've been relivin' hurts that seemed far away

Siftin' the dirt that covered the grave

Of the petty offenses I never forgave

But it's gettin' me nowhere fast

I will remember not

I will forgive

These things that tear my heart

I will forget

I will forget

Well I find that I'm just not agile enough

To balance the weight of all of this stuff

It's a cumbersome task that demands too much

And it's gettin' me nowhere fast

I will remember not

I will forgive

These things that tear my heart

I will forget

I will remember not

I will forgive

These things that tear my heart

I will forget

I will forget

As far as the east is from the west

These are the things that I must forget

I'll lay down my anger before the sun sets

I will forgive

Oh and I will forget

I will remember not

I will forgive

These things that tear my heart

I will forget

I will remember not

I will forgive

These things that tear my heart

I will forget

I will remember not

I will forgive

These things that tear my heart

I will forgive
