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
