Forgive

Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word by Elton John

What have I got to do to make you love me 

What have I got to do to make you care 

What do I do when lightning strikes me 

And I wake to find that you're not there 

What do I do to make you want me 

What have I gotta do to be heard 

What do I say when it's all over 

Sorry seems to be the hardest word 

Chorus: 

It's sad, it's so sad 

It's a sad, sad situation 

And it's getting more and more absurd 

It's sad, so sad 

Why can't we talk it over 

Always seems to me 

That sorry seems to be the hardest word 

Chorus 

What do I do to make you love me 

What have I gotta do to be heard 

What do I do when lightning 

Strikes me 

What have I gotta do 

What have I gotta do 

When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Remember this song? The performance was always hauntingly painful. 

Why do we have such a hard time saying, "I'm sorry?" It is only 2 little words. And saying them really doesn't hurt. 

We are hurting because of an offense, we don't say we are sorry because we are afraid that the person won't forgive us and we will feel bad. Well, if you already feel bad, why not just say it then. 

Now the issue falls to the other person. Will they forgive or won't they? It is really up to them but you will notice immediately that regardless of the outcome YOU will have begun to feel better already.

Unforgiveness is drinking poison while hoping the other will die.

Are you a forgiving person?
