let it die

i know i've hurt you, i've gone and made a mess tonight, with retaliation on my mind, i'm already through, it's a losing game, when we keep trading pain for pain, oh, i'm tired and i don't want to make the enemy out of you, when we wage war, and then peg the future to what came before, but when we talk about forgiveness, it's the way that we can love each other, let it die, so that death can bring life again, you know that i am hurt too, but i'm here to make amends tonight, reconciliation on my mind, it's all i can do, it's a losing game, when we keep on trading blame for blame, keeping count of all the wrongs we've made, oh, honey i'm through, can we make peace?, so the anger and the pride release, and then we'll talk about forgiveness, it's the way that we can love each other, let it die, so that death can bring life again, keep searching till we see it, and along the way, we'll trust each other, let it lie, what is left is a light again, i want to see you, again in time, with brand new eyes, i need you to see me, invite the light, and darkness dies, and we make love the surrender, then rise above, then we can walk into forgiveness, it's the way we truly love each other, let it die, so that death can bring life again, hold it high, what is left is a light again, and when we talk about forgiveness, it's the way that we can love each other, let it die, so that death can bring life again, and keep on moving to forgiveness, then keep on moving to forgiveness,
