What I Know Now

There we have it
That reason for me to forget
Why is it that the guilt
Can never cease?

I asked for release
I got it
But the memories are
Never gone

I know it's not my fault
I know it's for the best
I know it's what I wanted
But why is it so hard?

Everytime it leaves my mind
The past comes back to haunt me
And I don't want it
I don't want it

I asked for a chance
I got it
But the past can never
Let me go

I know it's not my fault
I know it's for the best
I know it's what I wanted
But why is it so hard?

And I know it wasn't easy
I know it wasn't fair
I know it messed up the balance
We worked so hard to get

I asked for a chance
I got it
But the past can never
Let me go

I know it wasn't easy
I know it wasn't fair
I know it fixed the balance
That I knew wasn't there

I know that I can do this
I know I can forget
I know that I am stronger
Than I ever knew
