Bygones Songtext
von Dolly Parton

Can you forgive me?
It′s true I've made mistakes, but so have you
It′s just so unfair
The way you hurt me
Cuts so deep, I don't think I can heal
You just leave me bare

When you break a trust, it's painful
To find the one you love′s no angel
When respect is gone, the biggest part of love goes too

I′m sorry, so sorry
How long must you punish me?
Why can't we just move on?
Let bygones, be bygones
But you never will

What′s the difference
If this time I'm the one that did the wrong?
Should it matter?
Makin′ reference to promises made and broken, you just left
Left me cold as stone


When you break a trust, it's painful
To find the one you love′s no angel
When respect is gone, the biggest part of love goes too

I'm sorry, so sorry
How long must you punish me?
Why can't we just move on?
Let bygones, be bygones
But you never will

(I′m sorry, so sorry)
Full of regret
Forgive and forget
(I′m sorry, so sorry)
You haven't yet
But tell me
Where do we go from here?

I′m sorry, so sorry
How long must you punish me?
Why can't we just move on?
Let bygones be bygones
I′ve gotta go


I'm sorry, so sorry (truly I am)
How long must you punish me? (Just put it down)
Why can′t we just move on? (Let's turn it around)
Let bygones, be bygones

But you never
You never
Could you ever?
Could you ever?
Would you ever?
Would you ever?
No, you never will
