Lyrics I’ll Forgive But I Won’t Forget - Paul Kelly

I'LL FORGET BUT I WON'T FORGIVE

Sometimes the very best of friends just have to disagree
I've see the very best of friends part forever bitter company
And you and I we've had our share of ups and downs
But we've seen each other through
Though I have to say I always thought I was a better friend than you
You've let me down in so many little ways
You apologise and I always accept
'Cause I forgive but I don't forget

Whe you were hurt I took your pain, yeah I soaked up all you rage
And there were times you did the same for me, though you always complained
Whe all the others wrote you off, I defended you, I stuck with you like glue
You're so generous and so completely selfish and I always kind of like that about you
But this is one too many times you've treated me like a doormat
Oh I'll forgive but I won't forget

Dying comes at any time, living has no rules
Forgiving may get you favours but forgetting's just for fools

I can't believe she fucked you here and then fed me full of lies
Why don't I go and get her now
And you can fuck her again right before my eyes
Then you two can have each other
You deserve each other I bet
And I'll forgive but I won't forget
I won't forget
I'll forgive but I won't forget
