I forgive you now, I’ve looked about
Its time for me to sing this song!
I forgive you now, I take it all
I’ve held on tight, that’s where I went wrong.
You did the things I would not choose to do.
Maybe all I needed, was to forgive you.
I’ve burrowed deep within,
sung a long a tenuous prayer.
I know I’m letting go of all that you said:
You thought that I was crazy,
you thought I was vile,
you thought that I was losing, was acting like a child.
You hoped that I would disappear, you hoped that I would die,
yet all I did, was climb in to that great big sky.
I forgive you, now I can say it
I forgive you now I really know it.
-can’t believe it, can’t believe it,
it took me so long to sing this piece of song.
I forgive you for your hatred
I forgive you, you were misguided
I couldn’t hide it and I hated you for what you did.
I forgive you, now I’ve said it
-feel I owe it, feel I made it through.
I forgive you for this long time, I’ve been misunderstood.
You did everything that I would never choose to do.
You took every part that I would deeply hate to lose
I knew you were taking the other way from me.
There must be something in your path, there must be!
I forgive you for your damage.
I forgive you it’s what I needed.
I forgive you, when you took them,
when you stopped them from loving me!
I forgive you, like I promised,
I forgive you, like I promised,
When I hated, light was blocked from my heart
I held pain to me, to me.
I forgive you, for your fear,
turned to anger, you burned near.
I forgive you, though I don’t condone
It’s what I find I need, to bring my peace of mind.
I never thought I could,
I forgive you, it’s done me a world of good.
I surrender my heart to out of this world.
And now I’m living peaceful my soul.
I forgive you now and let you go.
I forgive you now I let you go.
I ran away from you.
Forgive me.

"Isabel Aimee is a force to be reckoned with. Her voice dances through otherworldly ranges like the sound of mysterious spirits. Think Celine Dione meets Bjork.
