Lyrics
Forgiven
V1
The last of my boxes are packed
Loading my truck/, this day is done at last
How did we let this get so charred?
I Thought nothing could ever break us apart
Can we go back to that day?
I'd take back the things I'd say.
And I'd learn to forgive,
I wont make the same mistakes I did.
CHORUS
So, all is forgiven
it's all forgot
Cuz what we have is beautiful
Just right now it's not
So, All is forgiven
Erase the past
Cuz what our story really says
Is that our love will last
V2
Unpacking my boxes in my new living room
I get kinda lonely not making dinner for two
I guess I'm better off living by myself
Than thinking he's off with someone else
Can we go back to that day
Put the picture back in the picture frame
I'd learn to let it go,
Cuz everybody makes mistakes I know
There's just one thing I want to say
That I don't want it to end this way
but I think it's too late
Bridge
Just walk around in my shoes for a day, and feel the pain I feel without you babe
These shoes will lead you back to me, where I'm waiting my our favorite tree
I wont hold you back, I promise you that, just give me another chance
I've paid my price, I know what it's like, so baby take my hand
So, all is forgiven
it's all forgot
Cuz what we have is beautiful
Just right now it's not
So, All is forgiven
Erase the past
Cuz what our story really says
Is that our love will last
