It wasn't easy and I know it,
You'd been alone much too long,
I had a job places to go,
But I'd rather be right here at home,

He had the time he could give you,
When your lips could never find mine,
And our little home was payin' the price,
Of love left on the vine,

Forgiveness is something,
I guess it comes with time,
But even at best,
There's one thing I know,
I'll forgive but I'll never forget,

I guess when it's over it's over,
And your time is no longer mine,
But I never meant to cause all the pain,
I just wanted your love for mine,

And forgiveness is something,
I guess it comes with time,
But even at best,
There's one thing I know,
I'll forgive but I'll never forget,
