Forgiving Who Left

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] There's an empty chair in the living room corner The one who sat there took a suitcase and left [Verse 1] Each morning I look at the chair and ask why Why give up before the game was over The letter in the drawer full of blame That the other person would never read [Pre-Chorus] But holding anger changes nothing It only weighs my heart down more [Chorus] I forgive who left Even though they never apologized I forgive who left I forgive to set my own heart free [Verse 2] I tore the letter gently and let it past the window bars The words of blame dissolved into the sunlight The empty chair now becomes my own seat Learning that being alone is enough [Chorus] I forgive who left Even though they never apologized I forgive who left I forgive to set my own heart free [Bridge] Forgiveness isn't forgetting But no longer carrying them along I cleared the corner full of resentment [Chorus] I forgive who left Even though they never apologized I forgive who left I forgive to set my own heart free [Outro] I've forgiven now The empty chair still sits in that corner [Fade Out] [End]
