The List

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Write 'em down one by one

Every single mistake that you've ever made

Every single wrong turn you wish you didn't take

Keeping count, you can't let go

In for life behind bars, but you're holding the key

'Cause the list tells your heart that you'll never be free

But love keeps no record of wrong, no, no

Love keeps no record of wrong, no, no

Love keeps no record of wrong, no, no

Listen to me, love keeps no record of wrong, no

So let it go

Let it go

Love tears the list in million little pieces

Cast your sins as far as the east is from the west

Say goodbye to the list

Love tells your heart it's time to start beating

History will not be repeating anymore

Yesterday is closing door

Love keeps no record of wrong, no, no

Let it watch over you

That it doesn't mater what

You've done or where you've been

You don't have to keep going back there again

And write it down one last time

Go on and raise your hands, let the list fall down

You know that you are a new creation now

Love tears the list in million little pieces

Cast your sins as far as the east is from the west

Say goodbye to the list

Love tells your heart it's time to start beating

History will not be repeating anymore

Yesterday is closing door

Cause love keeps no record of wrong, no, no

Oh, love keeps no record of wrong, no

Come unto me

All who are weary

And I will give you rest

Your debt was paid

Your cross was carried

Love's hand has wiped away the list

(Say goodbye to the list)

(Say goodbye to the list)

Let it go (gotta let it go)

Let it go (love tears the list in million little pieces) (gotta let it go)

Let it go (love tears the list in million little pieces) (gotta let it go)

Let it go (love tears the list in million little pieces) (gotta let it go)

Love keeps no record of wrong, no
