Lyrics
Are you afraid of dying or afraid to live?
Numb on the outside, on fire on the in (repeat )
You can?t run away from yourself or your soul
Cause wherever you go, that?s where you dwell (repeat)
Chorus
Live today as your last, Learn from your mistakes
Close the door to your past only burns a bridge
You can?t live with amnesia to bury up your past
You only have one life to live
Got to just forgive ? yourself
Got to just forgive
You delude that you can peel away your skin
And shed away those years of sin (repeat)
You can not blame now the ones who lived
While you were learning to trust and forgive (repeat)
Chorus
Got to forgive, yourself.
Got to forgive ?
