Forgive and Forget Songtext
von Kathy Mattea

I′m tired, so tired, it's time to give it up
I′ve been draggin' his memory around long enough
It's weighin′ 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 he's put me through
I know the only way I′ll lay my burdens down to rest
Is if I can forgive and forget


To live in peace, be free of the past
I close my eyes and 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 all the hurt he's put me through
I know the only way I'll lay my burdens down to rest
Is if I can forgive and forget

Forgive and forget that′s what I′ve got to do
Forgive and forget all the hurt he's put me through
I know the only way I′ll lay my burdens down to rest
Is if I can forgive and forget

Yeah, I know the only way I'll lay my burdens down to rest
Is if I can forgive and forget
