Harder To Forgive

I love the songs I hated when I was young Because they take me back where I come from When every broken heart seemed like the end When everyone was someone different then But I can't be alone in a crowded room Where my thoughts, they run like water down a flume There are days when I will let the darkness rise I don't always choose to stay on the sunny side Sometimes I pretend we never met (ooh) Because it's harder to forgive than to forget Sometimes it's harder to forgive Yes, my life has seen some wasted time I have suffered for the peace inside my mind And some things are better left unsaid While some things work out different when they're in your head But I'm not sorry for the things I say Sometimes I let my mouth just run away And I believe that all souls are born kind And that all love lost comes back in time Sometimes I pretend we never met (ooh) Because it's harder to forgive than to forget Sometimes it's harder to forgive And even if the world is really round And all the maps are painted upside down So if you stand in one place for too long Everything around you will be gone Well, I'm not gonna miss you when I go Now the part of me that's left wants you to know That I'm not gonna jump towards the light The one to believe choose the night
