[Verse 1] You were trying your best With a map full of rain Carrying old mistakes Like a name on a chain Every wrong turn hurt But you kept going on Even in the dark You were never gone [Pre-Chorus] You did not fail You were learning the shape Of a wound that heals Only after the break [Chorus] Forgive yourself For not knowing earlier What only time Could teach you Forgive yourself You were just too young to see What only time Could teach you (only time could teach you) [Verse 2] Look at your hands now They have held so much Broken glass, hard days And still enough love You do not need To carry that guilt The road was long But it built what it built [Pre-Chorus] You did not fail You were learning the shape Of a wound that heals Only after the break [Chorus] Forgive yourself For not knowing earlier What only time Could teach you Forgive yourself You were just too young to see What only time Could teach you (only time could teach you) [Bridge] Let the old ache pass Let it loosen its grip You are not the same As the one who slipped There was no map There was no sign Just a heart in motion Doing its time [Final Chorus] Forgive yourself For not knowing earlier What only time Could teach you Forgive yourself You were always growing through What only time Could teach you (only time could teach you)
