Forgive and forget
I can place you on the highest and brightest pedestal
You have actually claimed my beautiful loving heart
And you will most likely be the one to destroy it
without even thinking twice
And then I finally see what I was hoping would not happen
You were so not the perfect one to be placed so high at all
Whenever my heart gets broken
Broken in 10 000 shattered pieces
And my love flows down the drain
BRIDGE:
I always have two sides to my emotions
I have the black hatred just like anyone else
And I feel the sweet relief that you will not hurt me again
CHORUS:
But what's strange is I feel them both at once
I tell myself that I hope you never find your true love
I hope on my own that you will forever be alone
I then try to be the bigger person and wish you well
Because in doing so, only then can I really let go
Telling my friends what a jerk you are
will not make me feel better
(Maybe just for a second)
But deep inside I sincerely wish that feeling is more permanent
Explaining to my family that I was really happy
does not paint my pain I feel now
It’s in the way I carry myself that finally expresses my full journey
The ultimate journey to forgiving and forgetting
I have now taken the wise and clear decision to forgive you
but that will take some time, time which is always limited
And taking time means I won't forget quickly
But the dream is to forgive and forget
and you of all people should know I always get my golden dreams
BRIDGE
CHORUS
By now you are probably seeing the person you have missed out on
But I truly don't give a damn what you are missing
I have to look out for myself; my own happiness should come first
No it’s not selfish, no it’s not all about you
Yes, it’s less about us now and so much more about me now
The time has come for me to stand up for what I want
This is the way to live and let live
You cannot and will not hold me back anymore
I will make a success of whatever I decide
And believe me, you will have no part
This is me, not us, not you – just me
