I Forgive That Man

Me used to walk with a stone in the chest
Try to hold truth, but me couldn't confess
Whispers in the dark, shaming on me bed
Old vices in me head, saying things me never said

But me put down the way, left it right there in the sand
Didn't need no preacher, didn't need no plan
Just one deep breath and a shaky hand
Said me forgive that man
Yeah, me forgive that man

Me now speak in riddles, both right and wrong
Me now dress up the guilt in a Sunday sound
Me just know me tried, I'm a broke, I'm a roast
Still got scars on me soul, nobody knows

Just to give thanks for the silence that came after pain
For the woman who helped when me numb the brain
For the ones me hurt, and the ones who stayed
For the love me lost, and the price me paid

So me put down the weight, didn't bury it, just let it go
Didn't rewrite the past, just let it flow
And if me falter again, me already know
Me can say, me forgive that man
Yeah, me forgive that man

'Cause healing ain't loud you know
Sometimes it just sounds like breathing
