Forgetting Hate, Finding Love (Today's Country Duet)

Verse 1 - Male

Every night felt longer than it should

Lost pieces of peace I misunderstood

Staring through my window at headlights on the street

Wondering how many others feel incomplete

Verse 1 - Female

My coffee turning cold on the edge of the sink

Guess I lost myself more than I think

Pages of my journal filled with worry and doubt

Trying to remember what this life’s about

Pre-Chorus - Harmonies

But there’s a sliver of hope in the morning glance

If I reach for the sun, maybe I’ll stand a chance

Chorus

First thing for me

I am forgetting hate to find love

No person is to blame

Just ghosts of demons using people for personal gain

Post-Chorus

Ooh, ooh, a step to the light

Ooh, ooh, throw back the night

Verse 2 - Duet: Male & Female

Walked outside to see the world living around me

The world's alive yet I am dead, or so it seems

But making a choice right now, it's time for my life to change

The sun says go, it's calling me by name

Pre-Chorus - Harmonies

I've decided the past is past

No more will I hold on to yesterdays

Holding on to good, throwing out the bad

One step ahead, I start again

Chorus

First thing for me

I am forgetting hate to find love

No person is to blame

Just ghosts of demons using people for personal gain

Post-Chorus

Ooh, ooh, a step to the light

Ooh, ooh, throw back the night

Bridge - Duet

Now the morning air feels different, a gentle kind of new

Found a little hope in the open sky, shining right on through

I’ve carried storms for far too long, but I’m laying down the weight

With you beside me, I find I’m finally feeling brave

Verse 3 - Female

Maybe scars will linger, but today I’m learning grace

Laughing at the little things, letting go of shame

The road ahead’s uncertain, but my heart’s unclenched at last

Learning to forgive, turning future from the past

Pre-Chorus - Harmonies

I’ve decided the past is past

No more will I hold on to yesterdays

Breathing in the sunrise, clearing out the rain

One foot forward, I’m on my way

Chorus

First thing for me

I am forgetting hate to find love

No person is to blame

Just ghosts of demons using people for personal gain

Post-Chorus

Ooh, ooh, a step to the light

Ooh, ooh, throw back the night

Ooh, ooh, walking toward the light

Ooh, ooh, I’m feeling all right
