lyrics

Empty words
And broken promises
Are all I remember of you

But I refuse
To be remembered the way that I remember you
And I refuse
To make another pay for my mistakes the way that you did

But how can I rise above the past
When behind these angry eyes
Are so many tears I haven’t cried

But this anger is getting me nowhere
‘Cause I’m still living in the past
Afraid to look ahead
I keep looking back

So I’ll cry my tears
Face my fears
And learn to forgive
The unforgivable

Sometimes I wanna cry
For all the lives that you destroyed
Including your own

You’ve got everything and nothing
You lived your life behind a mask
You hid the truth from everyone
Even fooled yourself

And you followed in the footsteps
Of the ones who came before
You were not strong enough to break the chain

But this anger is getting me nowhere
‘Cause I’m still living in the past
Afraid to look ahead
I keep looking back

So I’ll cry my tears
Face my fears
And learn to forgive
The unforgivable

Won’t let you shame me again
Won’t let you rape me again
You stole my innocence
But I’m taking back my life

And I will be strong enough to break the chain

So I cried my tears
Faced my fears

And I forgive you
The unforgivable
