Forgive Or Forget?

Sorry for all the havoc i caused
And for old memories I've aroused

To be me is not something easy.
You had to go through a lot just to please me

I tried so much to forget
but it was all like setting a bet

You end up going back and doing it again,
Women do so much for them men...

Try to start a new life
Yet you find yourself dragged to the same knife

Isn't it easier to forgive?
to begin again and re-live?

But the past is what makes our future
Its like repainting the same picture
