Lyrics

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
