I've been carrying this old luggage
and its been really buggin' me
so when you called me to see
I couldn't believe it
could it really be
You need to feel forgiveness
I need to feel resentment
Running down the drain
This bruising chain I've carried
Is the pain that I am burying today

Now I can breathe
and I feel grace rush over me
It pours through my skin
and lets you in
and we are free
Yeah, Now I can breathe
and I feel grace rush over me
It runs through my veins
and what I taste
is Bittersweet

The clock is always ticking
Bitterness grows by the minute
why cant we realize
the wounds that we're inflicting
on our own flesh
it isn't healing
by keeping love inside, yeah

Now I can breathe
and I feel grace rush over me
It pours through my skin
and lets you in
and we are free
Now I can breathe
and I feel grace rush over me
It runs through my veins
and what I taste
is Bittersweet



Behind the Song:
"'I'm Sorry.' Two very hard words to say...but two words that can change the course and/or direction of history. It is terribly bitter to recognize and even taste the sting of wrong. But how sweet it is to the soul to participate in forgiveness." - Plumb
