[Verse 1]
I wake up in love, in a life that is kind
But shadows of yesterday cling to my mind
Sweetness surrounds me, but deep in my chest
A child still cries, she never found rest
They said I was burden, they said I was wrong
Their voices still echo, too heavy, too strong
My sister, my mother, the silence, the blows
A garden of pain where no kindness grows
[Chorus]
If I could forget, just close my eyes
And leave behind the years of lies
Trade every scar for peace tonight
I’d give up the past for the morning light
I don't want revenge, I just want to heal
To feel like my pain was ever real
But I carry it still like a song unsaid
If I could forget… if I could forget
[Verse 2]
She called me a thief when I needed a hand
He hit me so hard I could barely stand
No one believed me, no one could see
The girl in the mirror was barely me
They mocked how I looked, said I’d be alone
Wished for a cage I could never outgrow
But I still survived, though my soul wore thin
With every cruel word carved into my skin
[Chorus]
If I could forget, just close my eyes
And leave behind the years of lies
Trade every scar for peace tonight
I’d give up the past for the morning light
I don't want revenge, I just want to heal
To feel like my pain was ever real
But I carry it still like a song unsaid
If I could forget… if I could forget
[Bridge]
I’m learning to breathe in a world that feels new
But the child I was still walks in my shoes
She wants to believe, she wants to be free
She whispers her truth, still longing to be
[Final Chorus]
If I could forget, just close my eyes
And silence the echoes, the hurt, the cries
I’d give all I have for one quiet night
Where no memory steals the light
I don't need revenge, just a place to mend
A story that doesn't break in the end
I’m trying to live with no regret…
But oh… if I could forget
