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
