Too Short To Stay Mad

You cut me off in traffic

You talked behind my back

I held those little moments

Like stones inside a pack

Scrolling through my grudges

Like trophies on a wall

But every heavy memory

Just made my world feel small

Life’s too short to stay mad at everyone

I’m done dragging every bad day along

I got a heart

It ain’t made to be a gun

Life’s too short

Too short

To stay mad at everyone

(yeah, everyone)

My mama said

“Pick kindness

You’re the one who sleeps with you”

So I’m washing off the anger

Like mud from muddy shoes

You don’t have to say you’re sorry

For me to set it free

Forgiving you is just a way

Of breathing out for me

Life’s too short to stay mad at everyone

I’m done dragging every bad day along

I got a heart

It ain’t made to be a gun

Life’s too short

Too short

To stay mad at everyone

(oh, I’m letting go)

I’ve wasted years replaying every fight

Trading midnight peace for being right

Tonight I’m choosing lighter

Choosing love

Let the bitterness burn up

Life’s too short to stay mad at everyone

I’m done dragging every bad day along

I got a heart

It ain’t made to be a gun

Life’s too short

Too short

To stay mad at everyone

Life’s too short

Too short

I’m done staying mad at everyone
