On “Forgive Myself”, Griff struggles to move on from the idea that she didn’t get this connection right. Rather than having a hard time getting over the person that wasn’t for her, she struggles to get over the fact that she messed up, in fear that she’ll mess up again.
[Intro]
(I gave my heart to the wrong somebody else)
(I gave my heart—)
(I gave my heart—)
[Verse 1]
I'm a little exhausted (Somebody else)
I've been torturing myself every day
Over every single mistake I've made
But I just can't help it (Somebody else)
I find myself doing it anyway
'Cause I let them in, so surely I'm to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I know, it ain't right
And something's gotta change, yeah
Yeah, I know it's probably time that I just face that
[Chorus]
I gave my heart to the wrong somebody else
And I need to forgive myself, oh
I gave my heart to the wrong somebody else
And I need to forgive myself
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, it's gonna be hard, trusting my feelings again
'Cause, what if they mess up again?
Yeah, I'll beat myself up, times ten
I shouldn't, I know that
But when I gave my heart to the wrong somebody else
I never forgave myself
[Verse 2]
And it's really exhausting (Somebody else)
When they say that they don't have any regrets
'Cause I got a million weighing my chest
And that's a lot of forgiveness (Somebody else)
That I just ain't got around to yet
Giving myself any of that? No
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I know, I know, it ain't right
And something's gotta change, yeah
Yeah, I know it's probably time that I just face that
[Chorus]
I gave my heart to the wrong somebody else
And I need to forgive myself, oh
I gave my heart to the wrong somebody else
And I need to forgive myself
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, it's gonna be hard, trusting my feelings again (Yeah)
'Cause what if they mess up again?
Yeah, I'll beat myself up, times ten
I shouldn't, I know that
But when I gave my heart to the wrong somebody else
I never forgave myself
[Bridge]
(I gave my heart to the wrong somebody else, yeah)
I need to forgive myself
I know that I need to, yeah
(I gave my heart to the wrong—)
I know that I need to forgive myself
(I need to forgive myself) Oh
[Outro]
Oh, yeah, it's gonna be hard, trusting my feelings again
'Cause, what if they mess up again?
Yeah, I'll beat myself up, times ten
I shouldn't, I know that
But when I gave my heart to the wrong somebody else
I never forgave myself
