I stayed too long
The distance
Makes me strong
I see
All you could not
Find in me
It hurts
But it heals at last
This pain
I feel will pass
With no thoughts
Of return
Listen close
And you'll learn

Chorus:
I forgive
But I cannot forget
Every part of me
Is filled with regret
That you
Cannot win back
My deck is stacked
I've tried
But the voice
Inside my head
Won't let me

Think of you
The way
You want me to
To be
The man
That's hidden
Deep in me
My healing
Won't be fast
As I leave you
In the past
With no thoughts
Of return
Listen close
And you'll learn

I forgive
But I cannot forget
Every part of me
Is filled with regret
That you
Cannot win back
My deck is stacked
I've tried
But the voice
Inside my head
Won't let me

Listen close
And you'll learn

I forgive
But I cannot forget
Every part of me
Has filled with regret
That you
Cannot win back
My deck is stacked
Oh, I've tried
But the voice
Inside my head
Won't let me

Take you back
