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

Verse 2

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
When you forgive someone
You set yourself free
It's not easy
Oh it's not easy
When you forgive someone
You set yourself
You set yourself

Breakdown

You set yourself free

Verse 3

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
When you forgive someone
You set yourself free
It's not easy
Oh it's not easy
When you forgive someone
You set yourself
You set yourself

Turnaround

You set yourself free

Bridge

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

Chorus

Cause when you forgive someone
You set yourself free
When you forgive someone
You set yourself free
It's not easy
Oh it's not easy
When you forgive someone
You set yourself
You set yourself

Outro

You set yourself free
