The Difference Between Forgive And Forget

Forgive and forget, now they’re two different things
But they seem to go hand in hand together in every situation
It’s like, bonnie and clyde
Now, take this from me and do correct me if this is a lie
But the last time I checked
You can forgive and forget, or you could forget but not forgive
Ya see, forgive and forget is like nearly every relationship
And it’s strange, since when you argue the cards on the table work a different way
Like for example, you could shout abuse at whoever you’re with
And that’s fine cos they’re gonna forgive you regardless
Whether it was hurtful or not, However they’re still gonna soak in those words you said when you was cross
Yet, when it backfires and they shout back at you
It then decides to become an issue

It’s like tit for tat, your abuse yeah they’re past that
But when they can no longer, bite their tongue
That’s when you can’t forgive and forget and clean that shit out your head
Which leaves you both in some next rocky mess you both can’t forget

Forgiving and forgetting might as well come with some terms and regulations
Like a contract you sign but never read,
And take that from me since I been there
I’ve felt the unnecessary pain because I once couldn’t forgive
Even though it was only a minor little thing which was brought up in conversation
I then snapped and changed the topic like it was nothing
However, deep down inside I felt regret which is something
That I’m not proud of, it made me feel like I had no purpose
And in the end, I knew I had to change
I needed to forgive or forget in order to not be the same
Which is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do
And probably you as well

Now if you asked me, how to forgive someone who isn’t sorry in any shape or form
I’d simply tell you that you need accept the fact that they’re not sorry
Not one bit, I mean if they was sorry why haven’t they paid that price?
Why haven’t they asked if you’re alright?
Ask yourself that the next time forgiving and forgetting comes into play
