[01:21.41]It was the freshman year of my high school career
[01:30.51]Things had barely gotten underway
[01:34.71]Before my innocence would be betrayed
[01:39.25]Starting with a phone call, a family member dies
[01:43.66]And at the funeral I looked into your eyes
[01:48.19]For the first time, this was a dream of mine
[01:52.77]But you didn’t know me, you didn’t know my name
[01:58.54]
[01:59.53]The first words you spoke to me
[02:04.51]Since you left my family
[02:08.66]You didn’t call me Stephanie
[02:13.20]This will take some getting over don’t you agree
[02:19.49]
[02:20.56]But now I’m here
[02:22.94]I know it’s been a few years
[02:25.58]I’ve shed a few tears
[02:27.99]and now I have a few things to say
[02:30.87]When we met, you broke my heart
[02:34.57]14 years old and you tore me apart
[02:38.95]But that aside, please know I love you
[02:43.93]And more than that, I forgive you
[02:50.40]
[02:56.65]Meeting at a truck stop for lunch
[03:01.62]We covered basics, let’s keep in touch
[03:05.55]Not even a week later, a letter in the mail
[03:10.32]You think it’s better to let this fail
[03:14.66]Another attempt to get to know my father
[03:19.21]Efforts exhausted, why did I bother
[03:25.58]
[03:26.39]The first words you wrote to me
[03:30.70]Since I made you family
[03:35.27]They worried me to the worse degree
[03:39.63]This will take some getting over don’t you agree
[03:46.54]
[03:47.52]But now I’m here
[03:49.57]And now it’s been a few years
[03:52.60]I’ve shed a few tears
[03:54.70]and now I have a few things to say
[03:57.93]When we met, you broke my heart
[04:01.14]19 years old and you tore me apart
[04:06.02]But that aside, please know I love you
[04:10.61]And more than that, I forgive you
[04:18.07]
[04:21.68]I forgive you
[04:30.50]I forgive you
