Forgiven Me

  • I hold a memory of myself
    Reflections of what I used to be
    These broken roads that got me here
    Can't make it hard to face reality
    But a new day is here
    It's time that I embrace it
    Can't wait another day
    Right now I gotta face it

    [Chorus]
    I never ever wanna press rewind
    Never wanna go back in time
    Not much glory
    In that story but it's mine so I'm
    Loving who I am today
    The past has past away
    Finally I
    Have forgiven me

    I hold a memory of myself
    So young and foolish and not knowing
    Careless decisions that I made
    I wish somebody would have told me
    But a new day is here
    It's time that I embrace it
    Can't wait another day
    Right now I gotta face it

    [Chorus]

    The mirror on the wall
    It makes me see today
    That I'm, I'm not that foolish girl
    Time has brought a change
    A transformation
    The old into the new
    When I let go of me
    And held on to you

    [Chorus: x2]

    I hold a memory of myself Writer/s: ERICA ATKINS-CAMPBELL, TRECINA ATKINS-CAMPBELL, WARRYN CAMPBELL
