I Wish You Well

I could hate you and not blink twice

But all the hatred in the world could never suffice

I could curse you, wish you a life of pain

But if it happened I know I would only feel the same

No, hate is not the answer

Instead, it’s like cancer

.. ..

So I close my eyes, and I breathe in deep

And if I have to, I break down and I weep

The anger I throw will just come back on myself

Instead I close my eyes, and I wish you well

.. ..

I could bash you, talk shit to all of your friends

But it only makes me look worse in the end

I could ignore you, maybe lose you in my mind

But delaying grief gets that much harder with time

No, igorance won’t do

I’ve gotta stand up to you

.. ..

So I close my eyes, and I breathe in deep

And if I have to, I break down and I weep

The anger I throw will just come back on myself

Instead I close my eyes, and I wish you well

.. ..

I’m not saying I can’t be angry

No denying I’ve earned that right

But without me using the guns of love

There’s not a chance in hell of surviving this fight

.. ..

So I close my eyes, and I breathe in deep

And if I have to, I break down and I weep

The anger I throw will just come back on myself

Instead I close my eyes, and I wish you well

This song is extremely personal, and sometimes, you just have to let the lyrics speak for themselves. The only thing I will say is this: It takes a lot more energy to hate than it does to forgive and let go. :)
