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
Trying to figure out how to live
Doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And I forgive you
I forgive you
We were busy living the dream
Never noticed the glass ceiling falling on us
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And I forgive you

I forgive you, I forgive me
Now do I start to feel again
If I hate you, what does that do
So I breathe in and I count to 10

'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
For every time that I cried
Over some stupid thing you did to hurt me
That's alright, yeah I forgive you

I forgive you
We were just a couple of kids
Trying to figure out how to live
Doing it our way
No shame, no blame
'Cause the damage is done
And I forgive you

[Chorus]

    General Comment:With song titles like "You Love Me," "Standing in Front of You," "You Can't Win," as well as this song, the frequency of the word "you" in Stronger's track list cannot be ignored. Speaking to MTV News, Clarkson this does not mean they are directed at one particular person, who's done her wrong. "They're all different 'you's,' " she explained. "There's no common, like, it wasn't like one, I didn't have a bad breakup or anything, it wasn't like that. No I just think life is about relationships, so I always write about all these different ones going on in my life and I don't really have a filter. So it's usually very [straightforward]."

    General Comment:I have listened to all the songs on Kelly Clarkson's new album - Stronger
    and i absolutley love the entire album , it's amazing ...
    I think the meaning of this song is about a girl forgivign herself and a guy for things that
    happened in a relationship when they were younger and didn't relly know how to handle situations in the relationship . I think that she is forgiving herself for mistakes she made in the relationship and alsoforgiving him for the mistakes that he made .

    General Comment:I've only listened to a few songs from Kelly's new album, but this is my favorite so far. The meaning is pretty obvious. The narrator was hurt by someone in their past, but they've found a way to forgive them.
