Lyrics:

Verse
I can carry a grudge for a long time
My memory just hangs on
To the facts as I recall them
Though some facts may be wrong
It’s a family tradition
Handed down for may years
It’s the source of all my bitterness
And cost me many tears

Chorus
I’ve burned that bridge just a little
I might still cross over yet
I’ll stay right here in the middle
Until I Forgive & Forget

Verse
I can claim it isn’t my fault
I was raised to never trust
And to never share a secret until I feel I must
Everyone’s under suspicion
You can never really tell
If someone means to harm you or if they mean you well

Chorus

Bridge
Nobody wants to be responsible for the havoc that they wreak
With a big chip on your shoulder best think before you speak
I see a family portrait way up on a shelf
But before I can forgive them I must forgive myself

Verse
I can carry a grudge for a long time
It’s an easy load to bear
There’s a lot of pain to go around
And I’ve sure had my share
From this day it stops with me
I refuse to pass it on
It’s a dark part of my ancestry
I will not dwell upon

Chorus
