[Verse 1] You didn’t know then What you know now You were just trying To figure it out You chose with the light You had in your hands Not with the answers You only got later on [Chorus] Forgive yourself For what you couldn’t see back then You were younger in your soul You were doing what you can Every wrong turn Became a road to where you stand If you needed this today Type “amen” Type “amen” [Verse 2] Growth came in pieces Falling like rain Slow from the heartbreak Slow from the strain Nights you’d rewind Every word that you said All of those “should’ve” Just echo in your head [Chorus] Forgive yourself For what you couldn’t see back then You were younger in your soul You were doing what you can Every bad choice Put a new truth in your hands If you feel this in your chest Type “amen” Type “amen” [Bridge] Every sharp edge Softened you up Every slammed door Taught you enough You’re not that person You were before So let that version Walk out the door (oh) [Chorus] Forgive yourself For what you couldn’t see back then You were walking in the dark Now you finally understand Every painful little moment Helped you grow into this man If you needed this to heal Type “amen” Type “amen”
