Forgiveness Lyrics

[Chorus]
I can change, I can change
I will try every day
Do my best, are you impressed?
Or are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with what I've done?
Fucked this up in front of everyone

[Chorus]
I can change, I can change
I will try every day
Do my best, are you impressed?
Or are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with what I've done?

[Verse 1]
I'm so cold
I'm the bad bitch, yo
Heart got froze
Don't trust those bros
Feel my love up high
I'll protect the prize
No love inside my eyes
Don't trust those guys
[Chorus]
I can change, I can change
I will try every day
Do my best, are you impressed?
Or are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with what I've done?
Fucked this up in front of everyone

[Chorus]
I can change, I can change
I will try every day
Do my best, are you impressed?
Or are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with what I've done?

[Chorus]
I can change, I can change
I will try every day
Do my best, are you impressed?
Or are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with forgiveness?
Are you not down with what I've done?
[Outro]
Sorry that my body like ice
Super hot supply, never gonna faze me
Sorry that my ice is so low
Queen bitch pro, vision so hazy
You keep on trying to break me down
But my wall stays high
It's protection like crazy
Sorry that I love you so
Gonna try to change but it's so hard, baby
And it's so hard, baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Closing track off Charli XCX’s Super Ultra mixtape.

“Forgiveness” is about messing up something so bad that the person you’ve hurt won’t even consider your attempts at fixing the problem, no matter how hard you try. Charli’s reaction to this is to become “cold” and stop trusting the people around her.
