A familiar face, a familiar sound
Every time I come around
The burden deep inside my soul
Will I ever be made whole?
Heavy as it’s ever been
Wishing you would make it end
I’m tempted to give you a call
But don’t cause it won’t help at all
You say that you’ll still be a friend
Let’s not kid ourselves I can’t pretend
So I’ll keep on, keep pushing through
Carrying this thing I know as you
Can’t get you off my mind, can’t get you out of my head
Can’t forget all of the things that you said
I hope sometimes you’ll think of me
And maybe one day you will see
The infinite love inside my heart
I have for you it was from the start
And even now I still give to you
Despite the things I can’t undo
You went and found another man
I know that was not in the plan
Jealous of love so he tried to break it
And on this earth we didn’t make it
But I’ll keep carrying this heavy weight
Until I meet you at the gate
And maybe then my load may lighten
I can only hope that’s how it might end
When that day comes I’ll know the grace
That God has shone upon my face
The burden I carried upon my shoulders
Was worth the pain as I got older
To spend eternity with you
I hope that’s how you’ll see it too
But then again maybe there’s another way
To shake the gravity a closer day
Forgive you for the things you’ve done
Maybe then I won’t have to run
And accept the reason I am here
To learn forgiveness, not to fear
All this time was to discover
The only way to truly love her
What I am carrying was the key
It was forgiveness that set me free
