[Verse 1]
There are two sides to every story
The truth leaves where it don't belong
It’s a tricky line that we're walkin'
When we got so many people talkin’
And nobody thinks that they're wrong
[Chorus]
How you gonna love someone if you don't forgive them?
How you gonna hear what they say if you never listen?
How you gonna stand up when the world wants you kneelin'?
How you gonna live out the words you're preachin'
If you don't believe them?
[Post-Chorus]
Mm
[Verse 2]

But somehow we all drown anyway
We make the ugly look so pretty
And the innocent so guilty
In all of these games that we play
[Chorus]
How you gonna love someone if you don’t forgive them?

How you gonna love someone if you don't forgive them?
How you gonna hear what they say if you never listen?
How you gonna stand up when the world wants you kneelin’?
How you gonna live out the words you're preachin'
If you don't believe them?
