I can forgive
But I can't forget
Some of the things that you did
But I understand and
I can respect
Sometimes a girl's got to live
Sometimes you take
Whatever they give
And sometimes it's all nonchalant
And sometimes they rake you
Right over the coals
And sometimes the fire's what you want
I can accept that
You might not have been
The woman I want you to be
And maybe you weren't the one
You wanted too
And maybe we weren't meant to see
I can forgive
But I can't forget
The way that you made me feel
But I understand and
I can respect
Sometimes the dream isn't real
Sometimes you get
Whatever you want
And sometimes you take what you need
And sometimes you fake it
And sometimes your gaunt with
The hunger to make it succeed
I can forgive but
I can't forget
The day that you made me leave
But I understand and
I can respect
Sometimes the dream isn't real
But sometimes mistakes creep
Into the mix
Sometimes you find out it's you
I can forgive but
I can't forget
The day that I ever met you
