Hardest Person To Forgive

I’ve been running from these demons that have chased me to this day.
I’ve been hiding from these ghosts that haunt me still.

I don’t know why,
I just don’t know why,
I stick around.
Maybe there’s a part of me that finds it hard to be free.

I'm searching for redemption, a way to unlock these chains.
The key is lost somewhere inside this chest full of pain.

I don't know why,
I just don't know why,
I can't break free.
Maybe there’s a part of me that finds it hard to be free

Scars upon my soul remind me of all my wasted yesterdays.
Through these trials and tribulations, I have fought to find my way.

I don't know why,
I just don't know why,
I hold on tight.
Maybe there's a part of me that's afraid to be set free.

In the depths of my reflection,
I see strength arise.
Though the path may be uncertain,
I'll reach up to the skies.

Maybe there's a part of me that's learning to believe,
I'm stronger than I know.
I'll finally find the freedom to let go.
