I'm tired so tired it's time to give it up
I've been dragging her memory around long enough
It's weighing heavy like a stone around my neck
I've got to find a way to forgive and forget
Forgive and forget that's what I've got to do
Forgive and forget all the hurt she's put me through
I know the only way I'll lay my burden down to rest
If I can forgive and forget
To live in peace to be free of the past
To close my eyes in sweet dreams is all that I ask
But if I die and peace has not come yet
Write on my stone I tried to forgive and forget
Forgive and forget that's what I've got to do...
Forgive and forget that's what I've got to do...
I know the only way I'll lay my burden down to rest
As if I can forgive and forget
