Forgive And Forget

Guess there's not much that you could say

Nothing in the world could ever stop me feeling this way

You were supposed to love me; you said that you'd never leave

So that morning I woke up to find you gone was beyond belief

Mum said she'd never recover, which is true she'll never be the same

And it's harder for her because she's the one who has your name

I wanted to find you and bring you home

But I had no idea where you were so I'd just go out for a few hours and come back alone

You say that I was too young to understand but I'm no longer young and I still don't

Just because you're back now, you want me to forgive you but a part of me just won't

I guess it's because I used to blame myself as I just wouldn't behave

You used to say that I should calm down before I put mum in an early grave

How could you just walk away and not come back until now?

And just expect things to be exactly the same, which I have no idea how

You're now saying that what you did has filled you with years of regret

Well I'm glad but hurt in a way, since it's going to take me years just to forgive and forget.
