Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I didn't ask for this pain I got
Maybe I deserved it, maybe not
Well, I pushed it all down and I tried to forget
But it hurts so much living with regret
[Verse 2]
I see your face in my dreams at night
I wake in tears and I cry with spite
Woman, you broke me in ways that you'll never know
And everyone tells me to let it go
[Chorus]
I been holding on for so long
And I don't know how else to live
Well, I want to hate you still but God knows I never will
Move on with my life unless I forgive
[Verse 3]
It's easy to hold on to the pain you feel
Forgiveness ain't easy but that's how you heal
Bitterness promises relief through revenge
But love is a medicine to make amends
[Chorus]
I been holding on for so long
And I don't know how else to live
Well, I want to hate you still but God knows I never will
Move on with my life unless I forgive
[Chorus]
I been holding on for so long
And I don't know how else to live
I want to hate you still but God knows I never will
Move on with my life unless I forgive
