Verse 1 You looked me in the eyes, Said it was nothing, said it was a lie that meant nothing. You had a thousand reasons ready, I heard them all… every single one. You said you were lost, you said you were weak, You said it wasn’t about me. Funny how every excuse Still left a crack inside of you. --- Pre-Chorus I didn’t interrupt, I let you speak your truth. But silence has a way Of remembering what words refuse. --- Chorus I forgave you, yeah, I did, But don’t confuse that with forgetting. Love made me blind for a while, But my heart still knows what it saw. I forgave you, I stayed calm, I chose love over walking out. But even when I hold your hand, There’s a part of me that doesn’t forget now. --- Verse 2 You cried like it was the first time, Like regret suddenly found your voice. You promised change, promised forever, I nodded… like I had a choice. They say forgiveness heals the wound, But nobody tells you the scar stays. I can love you and still remember The night you threw my trust away. --- Pre-Chorus I don’t bring it up, I don’t replay the scene. But my heart learned something My mouth will never scream. --- Chorus I forgave you, yeah, I did, But don’t confuse that with forgetting. Love made me blind for a while, But my heart still knows what it saw. I forgave you, I stayed calm, I chose us when it was hard. But even when I say “it’s okay”, There’s a line you crossed that stays in the dark. --- Bridge (soft, honest) Maybe love isn’t blind forever, Maybe it just looks away. Maybe staying is the bravest thing… But it changes you anyway. --- Final Chorus I forgave you, not myself, For believing it wouldn’t hurt this long. I forgave you, not the doubt That whispers when the nights go wrong. Love made me blind, that’s true, But now I see with open eyes. I’m still here… I still love you… But I’ll never love the same way twice. --- Outro Forgiveness isn’t forgetting. It’s remembering… And choosing to stay anyway.
