Girard - Forgive and Forget Lyrics

Forgive and Forget
(A trio about the emotional conflict of deciding whether to forgive a cheating partner)

[Voice 1]
You're standing here with sorry eyes,
Begging me to see through the lies.
You say you've changed, (that you regret,)
But how can I forgive and forget?

[Voice 2]
Every promise that you broke,
Every tear, every word unspoken.
Can I believe you this time around,
Or will I just end up broken down?

[All]
Forgive and forget, is that what love is for?
Can I open my heart like before?
The wounds are deep, 9the scars still fresh,)
How can I trust when there's nothing left?
Forgive and forget, (it's a heavy choice,)
Should I silence this doubt, should I hear your voice?
Caught in the pain, can I let it go?
Or will I stay trapped in the hurt I know?

[Voice 3]
You say you'll make it right, but can I believe?
The damage runs deeper than you can see.
I thought we had forever, but you turned away,
Now I'm left wondering if you'll stray again one day.

[Voice 1]
Can love survive this kind of break?
Or are we holding onto something fake?
I want to heal, but it's not that clear,
Do I forgive or live in fear?

[All]
Forgive and forget, is that what love is for?
Can I open my heart like before?
The wounds are deep, the scars still fresh,
How can I trust when there's nothing left?
Forgive and forget, (it's a heavy choice,)
Should I silence this doubt, should I hear your voice?
Caught in the pain,( can I let it go?)
Or will I stay trapped in the hurt I know?

[Voice 2 & 3]
Do I walk away, or do I stay?
Can I look at you the same way?
Forgiving's hard, (but forgetting's worse,)
Can we reverse this painful curse?

[All (harmonizing)]
Forgive and forget, is that what love is for?
Can I open my heart like before?
The wounds are deep, the scars still fresh,
How can I trust when there's nothing left?
Forgive and forget, (it's a heavy choice,)
Should I silence this doubt, should I hear your voice?
Caught in the pain, can I let it go?
Or will I stay trapped in the hurt I know?

[Voice 1 (softly)]
Forgive and forget... is it worth the fight?
[Voice 3]
Can love ever feel right?
[All]
Or are we lost in the tears of that night?
