Let It Die - Mae

I know I’ve hurt you

I’ve gone and made a mess tonight

With retaliation on my mind

I’m already through

It’s a losing game

When we keep trading pain for pain

Oh, I’m tired and I don’t want to make

The enemy out of you

When we wage war

And then peg the future to what came before

But when we talk about forgiveness

It’s the way that we can love each other

Let it die, so that death can bring life again

You know that I am hurt too

But I’m here to make amends tonight

Reconciliation on my mind

It’s all I can do

It’s a losing game

When we keep on trading blame for blame

Keeping count of all the wrongs we’ve made

Oh, honey I’m through

Can we make peace?

So the anger and the pride release

And then we’ll talk about forgiveness

It’s the way that we can love each other

Let it die, so that death can bring life again

Keep searching till we see it

And along the way, we’ll trust each other

Let it lie, what is left is a light again

I want to see you

Again in time

With brand new eyes

Oh, I need you to see me

Invite the light

And darkness dies

And we make love the surrender

Then rise above

Then we can walk into forgiveness

It’s the way we truly love each other

Let it die, so that death can bring life again

Hold it high, what is left is a light again

But when we talk about forgiveness

It’s the way that we can love each other

Let it die, so that death can bring life again

And keep on moving to forgiveness

Hold it high, what is left is a light again

Then keep on moving to forgiveness

Hold it high, what is left is a light again

And keep on moving to forgiveness

Hold it high, what is left is a light again
