Forgive and Forget Lyrics

You might forgive, but can you forget

The trouble I caused you when I used to live

Heartache and pain from the day we first met

Still can't put out the fire we both lit

The lying, the cheating

The breaking of hearts

My resume's steeped in shame

Last count I checked I'd left ninety four jobs

So I can ramble free once again

And you took me in, like a flea bitten dog

Cleaned me up like taught me how to say please

But one thing I know, from a life down low

It's the gutter where I truly feel free

And you might forgive, but can you forget

The trouble I caused you when I used to live

Heartache and pain from the day we first met

Still can't put out the fire we both lit

So please, please darling please

Turn your back on my right bended knee

Well I know I'm hard work

With a diminished return

But trouble is your one guarantee

Way down in the valley

Ten thousand leagues in the sea

I'll sign right up to the school of hard knocks

If I thought you might come back to me

And you might forgive, but can you forget

The trouble I caused you when I used to live

Heartache and pain from the day we first met

Still can't put out the fire we both lit
