Forgive or Forget Lyrics by Rob Carlile

Mentally Illmatic

2022

[Verse 1]
I'd like to say something
To any past flame
Who feels a present tension
At the mention of my name
To all I owe apologies
And something to explain
That you may never get
To all my hers and history
I think about the pain
And the future that looked brighter
When it didn't look the same
To all who went from all I want
To all I want to blame
I'm ashamed
I regret
[Chorus 1]
Still
When all you can do is done
And all you can say is said
What you can't forgive you forget
[Verse 2]
I'd like to do something
If there's something I could do
I lie awake and think and wait
For something bright and nеw
The future looked much bеtter
Back when I was better too
Years of blood, tears, and sweat
I'd like to say I'm changing
But I don't know if it's true
To all who wished I'd feel the pain
I promise you I do
The future isn't coming
And the past is never through
At least not with me yet
[Chorus 2]
Be still
Cos all that you've done you've done
And all that you'll get you'll get
So live and forgive or forget
[Bridge]
I'd like to say something
But I can't quite get it through
I wish I'd said, or I could say
The things I wish you knew
Consequence has come for me
So let that comfort you
If a verse won't do
Here's a bridge I haven't burned
Here's the worst I go through
It's a lesson I have learned
I'd like to change the past
I know I won't
Or how you think of me
I know you don't
[Chorus 3]
Because
When all you can do is done
And all you can say is said
You live and forgive or forget
