Forgive and Forget
Healing Hearts: Embracing the Power to Forgive and Forget
Lyrics
I hate to talk about the heartbreak
Expressing reluctance to discuss a painful breakup.
Or to dwell on the anger
Avoiding dwelling on negative emotions.
I hate to look over my shoulder
Reluctance to reflect on the past and its difficulties.
When I know we're trying to move forwards
Frustration about difficulties in moving forward in the relationship.
I hate the way you say my name
Disliking the way the partner says the speaker's name.
And the way you call me over
Displeasure with the partner's way of calling the speaker.
I hate to look into your eyes
Uncomfortable looking into the partner's eyes, acknowledging the end of the relationship.
Knowing that it's over
Acknowledging the finality of the relationship.
I hate to think about the future
Unwillingness to contemplate the future due to lingering feelings.
Can't help but wonder about you and her
Curiosity about the partner's involvement with someone else.
Why do I hold onto the memories
Questioning the persistence of holding onto memories despite the necessity to forget.
When it's clear I should be forgetting
Acknowledging the need to let go of memories for emotional well-being.
Why can't we, why can't we
Expressing a desire for reconciliation and moving on.
Forgive and forget
Advocating for forgiveness and letting go of past grievances.
Forgive the secrets
Encouraging forgiveness for hidden truths.
Forget regrets
Emphasizing the importance of forgetting past regrets.
Oh let's forgive, forgive and forget
Reiterating the call for forgiveness and letting go of the past.
I'll let go when you say
Committing to moving on when the partner is ready.
How did we go around in circles
Reflecting on the repetitive nature of relationship issues.
Like two hands on a clock?
Comparing the relationship's cycle to the movement of clock hands.
We used to love counting the music
Recalling joyful moments of counting music together.
Never realized our time was up
Realizing too late that the relationship has ended.
I hate the way you'll never say
Disliking the partner's lack of openness about thoughts and feelings.
Exactly what you're thinking
Seeking assurance that the partner has made up their mind.
Just promise me that now your mind is made
Requesting a commitment to transparency and avoiding mind games.
You won't try to keep me second-guessing
Desiring clarity and resolution instead of ambiguity.
Why can't we, why can't we
Reiterating the plea for forgiveness and moving forward.
Forgive and forget
Continuing the call for forgiveness despite challenges.
Forgive the secrets
Extending forgiveness to hidden aspects of the past.
Forget regrets
Encouraging the partner to let go of lingering regrets.
Oh let's forgive, forgive and forget
Repeating the plea for forgiveness and a fresh start.
I'll let go when you say when
Committing to letting go when the partner is ready to move on.
I think it's time to admit what you were really willing to give
Recognizing the need to acknowledge reality and be honest about intentions.
I think it's time for me to accept what I lived
Acceptance of past experiences and a readiness to move forward.
Oh when will it all finally be said?
Expressing a desire for closure and resolution.
You know you never had to promise anything
Highlighting the lack of obligation in the relationship.
Why can't we, why can't we
Reiterating the plea for forgiveness and understanding.
Forgive and forget
Encouraging the partner to let go of grudges and resentments.
Forgive the secrets
Extending forgiveness to hidden aspects of the past.
Forget regrets
Emphasizing the importance of leaving behind lingering regrets.
Oh let's forgive, forgive and forget
Repeating the plea for forgiveness and a fresh start.
I'll let go when you say
Committing to letting go when the partner is ready to move on.
