'I forgive you.'

This song is written from two perspectives, a child with a broken heart and the jaded adult he grows up to be.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Verse#1 - Boy:
I've kept each moment safe in my memory
Spaces between my fingers where yours used to be
Sometimes I think I see your face in the crowd
And yet deep down I know that I can't reach you now.

But soon things will be different
One day when I'm a man
I'll learn to live without you
I promise that I can.

Chorus#1 - Boy:
When I'm grown I won't remember you
Or even know your name
I'll forget all I was to you
And learn to bear the pain.
I'll be bigger, taller, stronger
So I'll never have to fall
I'll be grateful that I loved and lost
Not never loved at all.

Verse#2 - Adult:
Shadows of better times that I used to know
The things we did and all the places we'd go
Sometimes I swear I'd trade it all for your smile
Just one more chance to hold you and look in your eyes.

But now everything's different
Now that I'm a man
I must go on without you
But I don't know if I can.

Chorus#2 - Adult:
Now I'm grown I can't forget your face
Or stop calling your name
What happened to the good old days?
Please someone stop the pain
Well I'm bigger but the more I grow
The harder that I fall
Oh I wish that I had never lost and never loved at all

Coda - Both alternating:
Boy: They say that pain will heal in time but your memory won't fade
Adult: You're in my heart and in my mind no matter what my age
But I'll try my very hardest to be strong enough to live
Boy: And though I may never forget
Adult: I can always forgive...

Oooh...

Chorus#3 - Both in unison:
Now I'm grown, I won't forget the times we had but couldn't hold
Though we won't grow old together
Adult: Oh, I can still grow old
Both: Now I'm older, I am strong enough to get up if I fall
Yohio: And I'm thankful that I loved and lost
Boy: I'm thankful that I loved and lost
Both: It's better to have loved and lost
Than never loved at all.
