Forgive and Forget
Music Brian DeKam
Lyrics by Tim Glenn

Wounded in a battle of words
The scars go much deeper than skin
Oh how you know how to hurt
and switch the right triggers within

And now you say that you're sorry
And I guess I'm inclined to believe
But now that you've said it, should I just forget it
then tell me why do I still bleed?

Your "sorry" won't make all the pain go away
Your "sorry" won't make me feel better
And I struggle through all of the things that you said
When I should forgive and forget it.

I guess I just let you too close
How else could you cause so much pain?
I could close myself off, I suppose
and you could accept all the blame

I heard you say that you're sorry
And what do I do but believe?
I know that you said it, but do you regret it?
Then tell me why do I still grieve?

Your "sorry" won't make all the pain go away
Your "sorry" won't make me feel better
And I struggle through all of the things that you said
When I should forgive and forget it.

But if God can forgive everything we've done
Maybe, just maybe, I can move on.
But it's one thing to say it and another to do
Why is it so hard to forgive you?

Your "sorry" won't make all the pain go away...
