Forgive Myself Lyrics

Yea you know I'm grateful to the child that I used to be

Now I'm getting older I'm reflecting on the history

Mom I know you know I think about the day you left

It caused a lot of damage but looking back in retrospect

I'm just happy that you're happy

Living the life that you wanted with Cae and Maddie

Yea

I just wanna say I'm sorry

For everytime I blamed you wasn't old enough to process

I was just a youngin tryna juggle with the trauma

And you know the way I am I try to stay away from drama

Cause sometimes I get hot headed

But I just can't let it

Drag me any longer I had to grow to understand it

Ain't nobody perfect but I still love you

And I thank you for the things you did to raise me through

Having a child but you were a child too

We had to tough it out together but i always knew

Yea

I forgive myself

All the pain I had to feel I forgive myself

The mistakes I had to make I forgive myself

Im thinking it's about time I love myself

Yea

I forgive myself

For the hate I used to carry I forgive myself

I'm letting go of all the hurt I forgive myself

Before I love somebody else I have to love myself

Dad

I just hope I make you proud

All the times you could've left but you chose to stick around

I'll admit that I was hurt when you and mom were going through it

And you bottled up emotions decided to be secluded

Your opinion of a man it always mattered the most

And the boy you picked to raise I hope he's cutting it close

I know that I've been angry and at times I get spiteful

But you taught me to be humble and to stop being prideful

But here we go again look at the mess I made

And I'm sorry for the pain and all the games I played

I was lashing out acting like I can't be saved

While you were busy fixing pieces of a broken slate

Ain't nobody perfect but I still love you

And I thank you for the things you did to raise me through

Even though I'm not your blood you raised me too

We had to tough it out together but I always knew

Yea

I forgive myself

All the pain I had to feel I forgive myself

The mistakes I had to make I forgive myself

I'm thinking it's about time that I love myself

Yea

I forgive myself

For the hate I used to carry I forgive myself

I'm letting go of all the hurt I forgive myself

Before I love somebody else I have to love myself
