[Verse 1] I used to keep a list of every wrong Could tell you who had hurt me and how long I'd carry every grudge like I was owed And make damn sure the other person knew I thought forgiving meant somebody won So I held on long after they were gone These days I sleep a whole lot better Since I quit keeping score with everyone [Pre-Chorus] I can't tell you when it happened I just know I'm not that man [Chorus] I got more grace than I deserve More love than I know what to do with I spent half my life with both fists closed Now I'm learning how to open them I don't need you to believe like me I ain't here to tell you how to live I'm just telling you what happened to me I learned how good it feels to forgive [Verse 2] I used to think that being strong meant hard Never letting anybody get too close If somebody needed something from me I'd help 'em out but never let it show Now I'll tell a friend I love him to his face Call my people just to ask if they're okay And when somebody needs a little mercy I remember how much came my way [Pre-Chorus] I still screw it up plenty But I'm getting better at being me [Chorus] I got more grace than I deserve More love than I know what to do with I spent half my life with both fists closed Now I'm learning how to open them I don't need you to believe like me I ain't here to tell you how to live I'm just telling you what happened to me I learned how good it feels to forgive [Bridge] I didn't earn every second chance Didn't deserve every hand that stayed And I know damn well there were times I was harder to love than I care to say So when somebody asks what changed I don't have some fancy answer prepared I was given more than I had coming Now I try to give some of it away [Final Chorus] I GOT MORE GRACE THAN I DESERVE [Choir: MORE THAN I DESERVE!] MORE LOVE THAN I KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH [Choir: LET IT OUT!] I spent half my life with both fists closed Now you couldn't make me close 'em again [Choir: NO, NO!] I don't need you to believe like me I ain't here to tell you how to live I'm just standing here telling you I've been given more than I could ever give [Choir: MORE THAN I DESERVE!] [Lead, belted] And I'm gonna spend whatever time I've got Giving some of it away [Choir: GIVE IT AWAY!] [Outro] I didn't earn all of it I couldn't pay it back if I tried So I'll pass it on That's enough for me
