I Forgive You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the lights are on
But I'm never home
But I'll be back with a brand new attitude
'Cause I forgive you


[Chorus]
I forgive you, we were just a couple of kids
Tryna figure out how to live, doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done and, and I forgive you
I forgive you, we were busy living the dream
Never noticed the glass ceilings falling in on us
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done and, and I forgive you

[Verse 2]
I forgive you, I forgive me
Now when do I start to feel again?
If I hate you, what does that do?
So I breathe in and I count to ten
[Pre-Chorus]
'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

[Chorus]
I forgive you, we were just a couple of kids
Tryna figure out how to live, doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done and, and I forgive you
I forgive you, we were busy living the dream
Never noticed the glass ceilings falling in on us
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done and, and I forgive you

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
I forgive you, we were just a couple of kids
Tryna figure out how to live, doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done and, and I forgive you
I forgive you, we were just a couple of kids
Tryna figure out how to live, doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done and, and I forgive you
I forgive you, we were busy living the dream
Never noticed the glass ceilings falling in on us
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done and, and I forgive you

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 [?]
