Sometimes the deepest pain doesn’t come from enemies — it comes from the people close enough to hold our story.
One lie.
One moment.
And the time it steals can stretch into decades.

“Forgive to Live” was written from all three sides of that wound:

• the one who told it,
• the one who received it,
• and the one who carried it.

I learned that clearing my name wasn’t worth destroying someone else’s.
I learned that trying to recover lost years only reopens the wound.
And I learned that forgiveness — real forgiveness — is the only place where life begins again.

We can’t rewrite the past.
But we can choose what happens next.
We can choose to stop the bleeding, stop the cycle, and stop hurting people who never meant to hurt us.

Forgiveness doesn’t erase history.
It releases the grip it had on our future.

This song is for anyone who wants to live again.
