Title: I'll forgive but I wont forget
by Helen-Catherine from Cheshire | in writing, poetry, lyrical
(Female)
I’ll forgive but I won’t forget
I know you did this for a bet
Just to get some dough
Baby, I hope you know
The devastation you inflicted
I would never have predicted
Are you proud of what you did?
Now go and tell your kid
Tell him Daddy’s got to leave
Try real hard to believe
Say I can’t be with your mother
Coz daddy doesn’t love her
Tell him to be real strong
So the pain will not last long
A son without a father
You’re trying to make it harder
For him don’t you see
He is always gonna be
Askin’ where you are
Has daddy gone very far?
Mummy when’s he coming home
He’s not picking up his phone
(Male)
Now listen up, listen up, listen up right now
I did the dirty but I’ll change for you I swear
My true love for you I will stand here and declare
(Female)
Now shut up, shut up, shut up right now
Don’t you understand, it’s really not that easy
To just go ahead and really try to please me
(Male)
I promise you, she meant nothing to me
Baby I’m doing my best to make you see
I’m not gonna walk out like this
Coz of a one night stand and a kiss
We can build a new life together
Go abroad or whatever
Just the three of us, starting over
I promise you I really am sober
What I’m saying now is how its gonna be
But baby if you only let me
Dig deep inside your heart
To find a new fresh start
I’ll buy you a diamond ring
If that’s your sort of thing
Then get down on one knee
And say will you marry me
(Famale)
I’ll give you another chance to walk through my front door
But after what you did to me I don’t know what for
I’m gonna let you try to put things right
Make sure we put the past right out of our sight
I put my trust in you to mean what you say
Don’t play games if you’re not willing to pay
Just remember I was the one that gave you somewhere to live
Do it to me again and you’ll be sleeping in the grid
You see that Jag parked up in my drive
That was meant for you it was gonna be a surprise
To show my love and affection
To express my thoughts and protection
You meant the world to me
And I wanted the whole world to see
(Male)
Now listen up, listen up, listen up right now
I did the dirty but I’ll change for you I swear
My true love for you I will stand here and declare
(Female)
Now shut up, shut up, shut up right now
Don’t you understand, it’s really not that easy
To just go ahead and really try to please me
(Male)
I can’t stand being on my own
Thanks to you I’m finally coming home
I was missing you so bad
It was making me so mad
To see you moving on
As if nothing had gone on
But still, things are changing now
I will prove to you somehow
No matter what it takes
No matter how much it aches
I will value you more
I will be here for sure
We will battle through life together
I will stand by you forever
(Male)
Now listen up, listen up, listen up right now
I did the dirty but I’ll change for you I swear
My true love for you I will stand here and declare
(Female)
Now shut up, shut up, shut up right now
Don’t you understand, it’s really not that easy
To just go ahead and really try to please me
(Male)
Now let me show you, let me show you, let me show you right now
That I can spend my whole life going that extra mile
Baby, I’ll give you the whole world just to see you smile
(Female)
Now give me love, give me love, give me love right now
Considering I am gonna give you a supportive wife
The least you can give me is your soul for life.
I wrote this a few years ago when I was listening to too much of Eminem. You could argue it's more of a song than a poem. It was also intended as a duet.
