Remember Not

Susan Ashton


I've been lookin' at things in a negative light 
Clippin' my wings in the middle of flight 
My motor is running on the heartaches of life 
But it's gettin' me nowhere fast. 

I've been relivin' hurts that seemed far away 
Siftin' the dirt that covered the grave 
Of the petty offenses I never forgave 
But it's gettin' me nowhere fast. 

I will remember not 
I will forgive 
These things that tear my heart 
I will forget 
I will forget. 

Well I find that I'm just not agile enough 
To balance the weight of all of this stuff 
It's a cumbersome task that demands too much 
And it's gettin' me nowhere fast. 

I will remember not 
I will forgive 
These things that tear my heart 
I will forget 
I will remember not 
I will forgive 
These things that tear my heart 
I will forget 
I will forget. 

As far as the east is from the west 
These are the things that I must forget 
I'll lay down my anger before the sun sets 
I will forgive 
Oh, and I will forget. 

I will remember not 
I will forgive 
These things that tear my heart 
I will forget 
I will remember not 
I will forgive 
These things that tear my heart 
I will forget. 

I will remember not 
I will forgive 
These things that tear my heart...
