When You Forgive Someone

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 could feel it coming up these bones
There’s a part of me that can’t get past it
I know, I know, I know
‘Cause when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
When you forgive someone
You set yourself
You set yourself
You set yourself free
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
‘Cause when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, when you forgive someone
You set yourself free (oh)
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
When you forgive someone (oh)
You set yourself
You set yourself
You set yourself free (oh, oh, oh)
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
‘Cause when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
Oh, it’s not easy (oh)
When you forgive someone (oh)
You set yourself
You set yourself
You set yourself free
