[Verse 1]
I forgive you, I forgive me
Now when do I start to feel again?
I forgive you, I forgive me
Now when do I start to feel again?
'Cause the lights are on
But I'm never home
But I'll be back with a brand new attitude
'Cause I forgive you

[Chorus]
I forgive you
We were just a couple of kids
Tryna figure out how to live, doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you
I forgive you
We were busy living the dream
Never noticed the glass ceilings falling in on us
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you

[Verse 2]
I forgive you, I forgive me
Now when do I start to feel again?
If I hate you, what does that do?
So I breathe in and I count to ten
'Cause the lights are on
And I'm coming home
Yes, I am back with a new heart in my hand
'Cause I forgive you

[Chorus]
I forgive you
We were just a couple of kids
Tryna figure out how to live, doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you
I forgive you
We were busy living the dream
Never noticed the glass ceilings falling in on us
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you

[Bridge]
I forgive you
For every time that I cried
Over some stupid thing you did to hurt me
That's right
Yeah, I forgive you

[Chorus]
I forgive you
We were just a couple of kids
Tryna figure out how to live, doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you
I forgive you
We were just a couple of kids
Tryna figure out how to live, doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you
I forgive you
We were busy living the dream
Never noticed the glass ceilings falling in on us
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And, and I forgive you

Kelly Clarkson

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
