When You Forgive Someone

[Verse 1]
I couldn't see I was the only hostage
To the bitterness I can't let go
Maybe now it's time to cut my losses
Move on, move on, move on
Oh, I can't believe how long it's lasted
I can feel it coming up these bones
There's a part of me that can't get past it
I know, I know, I know

[Chorus]
'Cause when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, when you forgive someone
You set yourself free

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, it's not easy
Oh, it's not easy
When you forgive someone
You set yourself
You set yourself
You set yourself free

[Verse 2]
I got these reasons that I just can't get there
They hold me down like the hounds of hell
But I can tell you that the journey to justice
It never ends up fair

[Chorus]
'Cause when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, when you forgive someone
You set yourself free

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, it's not easy
Oh, it's not easy
When you forgive someone
You set yourself
You set yourself
You set yourself free

[Bridge]
All that's heavy on my soul
Lay it down and let it go
All that's heavy on my soul
Lay it down and let it go

[Chorus]
'Cause when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, when you forgive someone
You set yourself free

[Outro]
Oh, it's not easy
Oh, it's not easy
When you forgive someone
You set yourself
You set yourself
You set yourself free
