LYRICS:

The Forgetting Part· w/m Taryn Hofert 

[verse 1]

The forgetting part’s the hardest part to get

There is no escaping the tapes inside my head (they say)

You’ll never change You’ll always be the same

Just another day to replay…

[verse 2]

You can’t see the cloud  affixed above my head

I take it everywhere - My hovering regret

Oh for for just a day to escape it’s shadow cast

To reconcile with myself at last

The way I live is almost as if

I’m out for revenge against myself

 [chorus 1]

This is love -  To be seen for who you are not what you were

This is grace -  To be held as though I never made mistakes

This is You  -   Drowning me in your forgiveness  

[bridge]

Like a broken record, it haunts me

Like a tape in my head, it taunts me

Like a knife in my heart, it’s tearing me apart

Wounding daily, then in my frailty

You come, You run….to me

You embrace me in the middle of the street

You lift the needle from my record

In the silence I can hear
