Lyrics
This the month I lay my burdens down
Cold nights got me thinking on the truth I hid
Holding on to hurt only broke me more than it ever did
I been carrying memories like scars across my mind
Pretending I was over things I never really left behind
I been praying for release from the weight I held
Trying to free the version of me that never truly healed
This december hit different when you choose to let go
Cause forgiveness feel lighter than the pain you used to know
I aint perfect but I am learning how to breathe again
Learning letting go dont mean letting someone win
I been breaking chains I built from all my fears
And this winter I am washing off the hurt from all these years
If I forgive you this christmas
Just know I freed myself too
I wont carry what broke me
Into a year God never meant for me to lose
If I release what hurt me
Then I can finally make room for peace
This december forgiveness a gift I am giving me
Snow falling on the window while my soul resets
Thinking on the moments I regret but wont forget
I was drowning in the storms I tried to rise above
Trying to heal the places I confused for love
I been holding bitterness like armor on my chest
But anger only takes from you it never gives you rest
I am done letting old wounds tell me who to be
This december got me choosing strength and clarity
I aint perfect but I am learning how to stand again
And my healing dont depend on where somebody else has been
I been breaking cycles I stayed trapped inside
This month I am letting go of tears I never cried
If I forgive you this christmas
Just know I freed myself too
I wont carry what broke me
Into a year God never meant for me to lose
If I release what hurt me
Then I can finally make room for peace
This december forgiveness a gift I am giving me
Yeah I am done replaying moments that keep me stuck
Done wasting prayers on what already ran out of luck
I choose restoration I choose peace I choose release
And this december I am letting my old battles cease
If I forgive you this christmas
Just know I freed myself too
I wont carry what broke me
Into a year God never meant for me to lose
If I release what hurt me
Then I can finally make room for peace
This december forgiveness a gift I am giving me
New year new mercy
New heart new me
