I've been looking at things in a negative light
Clipping my wings in the middle of flight
My motor is running on the heartaches of life
But it's getting me nowhere fast

I've been reliving hurts that seemed far away
Sifting the dirt that covered the grave
Of the petty offenses I never forgave
But it's getting me nowhere fast

I will remember not
I will forgive
These things that tear my heart
I will forget
I will forget

Well, I find that I'm just not agile enough
To balance the weight of all of this stuff
It's a cumbersome task that demands too much
And it's getting me nowhere fast

I will remember not
I will forgive
These things that tear my heart
I will forget

I will remember not
I will forgive
These things that tear my heart
I will forget
I will forget

As far as the east is from the west
These are the things that I must forget
I'll lay down my anger before the sun sets
I will forgive, oh, and I will forget, yeah

I will remember not
I will forgive
These things that tear my heart
I will forget

I will remember not
I will forgive
These things that tear my heart
I will forget

I will remember not
I will forgive
These things that tear my heart
I will forget
