From the recording Out of the Doghouse (Infinite)
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can’t stand you, whoa...
But this fire in my chest, it’s burning me more than you know
Holding on to this anger, it’s a heavy chain
I’m stuck in the past, but I’m breaking away from the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t blame you, uuoo...
I’ve been learning how to let go
Forgiveness ain’t weakness, it’s how I grow
But I’m drawing lines, and I’m keeping ‘em bold
[Chorus]
I can’t afford to hold on to the past.
Or the Peace I think I have won’t last…
Boundaries is what u need to heed.
And it’s not wrong to have this need.
Be the truth your heart needs,
be the light you need to seize…
Don’t hold on to spite, Be ur own Eternal never-ending light!
[Verse 2]
You crossed the line, now I see it clear
Love ain’t pain, and I won’t live in fear
Setting boundaries, that’s my new routine
It’s not mean, it’s how I keep my spirit clean
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t blame you, uuoo...
But I won’t let you dim my light
I forgive, but I won’t lose my fight
I’m choosing me, and that feels right
[Chorus]
I can’t afford to hold on to the past.
Or the Peace I think I have won’t last…
Boundaries is what u need to heed.
And it’s not wrong to have this need.
Be the truth your heart needs,
be the light you need to seize…
Don’t hold on to spite, Be ur own Eternal never-ending light!
[Bridge]
No more chains, no more pain
I’m walking free in the pouring rain
Every tear was a seed I sowed
Now watch me bloom, watch me grow
[Outro]
We gon’ have peace without compromise
Peace without getting tired
Of anything that’s blessed, I’m reclaiming my rest
This child is just my test
I’m rising, I’m healing, I’m doing my best
“Well then, Amen...”
