Forgiven but Forgotten

Verse 1

Do you even know the weight I bore,

The sleepless nights, the open sores?

I held my heart out, screaming your name,

While you were playing a crueler game.

Pre-Chorus

Tears I lost, uncountable streams,

Shattered pieces of my broken dreams.

But I loved you, oh, I loved you still,

Even as you bent my will.

Chorus

Your betrayal, it killed the light,

Turned my colors into night.

But love’s a fire that doesn’t die,

Even as it burns the sky.

Forgiven, but forgotten too,

I can’t return to what I knew.

Your touch is ashes in my hand,

A love I’ll never understand.

Verse 2

Years I spent lost in your glow,

A favorite song I couldn’t let go.

But betrayal paints in shades of black,

And there’s no road that brings me back.

Pre-Chorus

I begged the stars, I cursed the day,

When you chose to throw it all away.

But love’s a paradox, cruel and kind,

Leaving me chained to a bleeding mind.

Chorus

Your betrayal, it killed the light,

Turned my colors into night.

But love’s a fire that doesn’t die,

Even as it burns the sky.

Forgiven, but forgotten too,

I can’t return to what I knew.

Your touch is ashes in my hand,

A love I’ll never understand.

Bridge

I let you go, but not the pain,

A ghost of you still calls my name.

I wish for peace, but it won’t come,

A war within that leaves me numb.

Chorus

Your betrayal, it killed the light,

Turned my colors into night.

But love’s a fire that doesn’t die,

Even as it burns the sky.

Forgiven, but forgotten too,

I can’t return to what I knew.

Your touch is ashes in my hand,

A love I’ll never understand.

Outro

So I’ll move on, but not unscarred,

Your shadow etched into my heart.

Forgiven, yes, but never whole,

You took my love, but not my soul.
