How can I forgive you my friend, you have hurt me so much
How can I forgive you my friend, after you left a deep scar inside my heart
How can I forgive you my friend, my life has become so miserable since then
How can I forgive you my friend, you've taken away all my happiness
What you said and what you did keep on replaying inside my head
Those hurtful words and intolerable actions pictured so clearly in my mind
The word "friendship" that used to be the word of hope and happiness
It has now changed into a meaningless term and even pointless to talk about
I don't know how much tears that I've shed
Nor that I know how many sleepless nights I've gone through
The only thing I know ... I'm no longer the one who I used to be
Trapped inside the darkness and gloom with no way to break free
Oh Lord Buddha, how can I get out of all these troubles
How can I overcome the pain deep rooted inside my heart
How can I be happy and cheerful again
I want to get out of this, I want to break free, I want peace, I want happiness!
In the midst of this sorrow and despair, I suddenly realise ...
There's no way to be happy, if I don't allow myself to be
There's no way to have a clean house, without cleaning all the dusts and dirt inside
There's no way to overcome this hatred, without first accepting the person's mistakes
Yes friend, no point allowing your mistakes keep playing inside my mind
I have to press the "stop" button to end this seemingly endless refrain
No matter what you've said and done, I sincerely forgive you....
Just as how I wish my wrongdoings be forgiven by others
I forgive you ... with all my heart
Even if you don't take me as your friend anymore, I accept you as you are
Life goes on, time flows by, and we gotta move on
Let's learn from the past, but not live in it
It just takes a moment to snap this beautiful feeling
The moment of peace, so soothing and comforting
My tense goes down and my smile arises
May you be well and happy, my friend ... take care!
