Lyric

I left your words on the sill

Next to the rain and the bill

The cup went cold in my hand

Like I still don't understand

You wore that hurt like a ring

I wore my pride like a thing

That would not fall to the floor

Then you walked out of the door

But I've been listening

To the quiet in my chest

There's a softer name for freedom

And it sounds like rest

I forgive you, darling

I let it go

I forgive you, darling

I let the river know

Not for you

For my own heart's sake

I lay it down

I let it break

The mirror kept your trace

In the blue of my face

I tried to fold up the blame

But it kept saying your name

Now the table feels wide

And the hurt has slipped aside

Like an old dress in June

Like a moon without a bruise

I've been listening

To the ache unwind

What I kept as a weapon

Was a chain on my mind

I forgive you, darling

I let it go

I forgive you, darling

I let the river know

Not for you

For my own heart's sake

I lay it down

I let it break

If I loved you wrong

I was only afraid

If you loved me wrong

We were both unmade

Let the door stay open

Let the past be dim

I will carry less of it

When I carry him

I forgive you, darling

I let it go

I forgive you, darling

I let the river know

Not for you

For my own heart's sake

I lay it down

I let it break

I forgive you, darling

Soft as dawn

I forgive you, darling

And I move on
