Forgive and Forget Songtext

von All Living Fear

So close, so near but still so far,
I have no idea just who you are.
I don't know what it's really for.
I'll keep on looking to be sure.
My friend, my very special friend,
Is this the start or just the end.
The trail feels cold, have I lost my way.
This is goodbye, don't want you to stay.
Grief is just a fleeting thing
And doesn't soothe like vengeance sings.
Revenge must come, no time to cry.
Too quick to pass, too soon to die.
Forgive and forget is too easily said.
The fire inside that wants you to suffer.
Forgive and forget, no I'm not done yet.
You know I didn't want a drunk for a lover.

You know, you know, you know I can't forgive you.
You know, you know, you know I won't forgive you.
You know, you know, you know I can't forgive you,
No, no, no.
Forget about you, forget all about you.

Ships, now passed, converge, collide.
Encounters where we'd sooner hide.
Time won't heal of that I'm sure,
The scars too deep to be ignored.
If you think that's wrong, well it must be right.
Fermenting haze that mars your sight.
Consequential needs inspired discord,
Resonant pleas that were implored.
Grief is just a fleeting thing
And doesn't soothe like vengeance sings.
Will I turn my back, will I walk on by.
Is the time of day too much to pay.
Forgive and forget is too easily said,
The fire inside that wants you to suffer.
Forgive and forget, no I'm not done yet.
You know I didn't want a drunk for a lover.
