I forgive you, I forgive me Now when do I start to feel again I forgive you, I forgive me Now when do I start to feel again 'Cause the lights are on But I'm never home But I'll be back with a brand new attitude 'Cause I forgive you I forgive you We were just a couple of kids Trying to figure out how to live Doing it our way No shame, no blame 'Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you We were busy living the dream Never noticed the glass ceiling falling on us No shame, no blame 'Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you, I forgive me Now do I start to feel again If I hate you, what does that do So I breathe in and I count to 10 'Cause the lights are on And I'm coming home Yes I am back With a new heart in my hand 'Cause I forgive you I forgive you We were just a couple of kids Trying to figure out how to live Doing it our way No shame, no blame 'Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you We were busy living the dream Never noticed the glass ceiling falling on us No shame, no blame 'Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you For every time that I cried Over some stupid thing you did to hurt me That's alright, yeah I forgive you I forgive you We were just a couple of kids Trying to figure out how to live Doing it our way No shame, no blame 'Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you We were just a couple of kids Trying to figure out how to live Doing it our way No shame, no blame 'Cause the damage is done And I forgive you I forgive you We were busy living the dream Never noticed the glass ceiling falling on us No shame, no blame 'Cause the damage is done And I forgive you
