You rehearsed that apology all night I could see it in your shaking hands Every word you planned to say Was already weighing on my chest You thought I was keeping score Like I always did before But somewhere between the hurt and the truth I got tired of bleeding just to prove I forgave you before you asked Before you broke down, before I cracked Before the sorry, before the blame Before we tried to rewrite names I laid the anger in the past I forgave you before you asked I replayed it a hundred ways What I’d say if you called my bluff But holding onto every scar Was starting to feel like giving up You came looking for relief I was already finding peace Turns out letting go ain’t weak It’s choosing who you wanna be I forgave you before you asked Before the tears fell, before we crashed Before the excuses learned to last Before the truth wore a mask I didn’t need the perfect past I forgave you before you asked That doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt Or that it didn’t leave a mark It just means I loved myself Enough to turn off the dark I stopped waiting on your words To give me back my heart I forgave you before you asked Before goodbye became our path Before I learned to walk away Without needing you to stay Some things don’t need closure fast I forgave you before you asked So say it if you need to Say it if it helps you breathe I already set it down What you did to me I forgave you Before you asked
