I've got a lesson to learn
About some bridges I've burned
I spent some time in Hell
I guess I know it too well
I never want to return

Why can't I just forgive?
Why can't I learn to let go?
Why can't I live and let live
Like I used to anymore?
How many years will go by
Where I bang my head on the sky?
Why can't I just forgive?

I just can't seem to let go
It tortures people I know
Spend too much time in the past
I'd like to leave it at last
I don't know which way to go

I thought I was stronger
Than I was
A chip on my shoulder
Just because

I spent so much time in Hell
I guess I know it too well
Get so wrapped up in myself
I can't see anyone else
I get so tired of being burned
I don't know which way to turn
Seems like I'll never learn
