LYRICS [Chorus/AJT] I forgive but I don’t forget These pains shape me and feed my soul I forgive to release myself from resentment I forgive to relieve the weight of my bitterness [AJT] I forgive your vagaries, your jealousy By cowardice, embroiled in harmfool shortcuts Pointless fights that only time soften You disapointed me, Nobody is perfect : I admit it, sad Especially when the beauty of a girl dazed me off Conquer you every day to break the routine I forgive that you said « I love you » without believing it The lie is easy but can only be temporary Admittedly, between us, it was not a great story But I pity the next one if you don’t mend your ways I forgive your insance selfishness which destroyed the essential. You were emotional but honest, neurotic and full of hate I am no better and I shaded off the spark Intrinsic, my cowardise reveals itself I did not find the way to express myself by stupid reserve (shyness) Chorus [AJT] I forgive your blind cruelty Disgusted when I saw your viciousness performing Dirtied by pride, tarnished by bitterness Idle on a bench, loosing illusions, for hours, lazing around A look, the wrong way, a fruitless rumble, hysterical 3 against 1 on a weak boy Weed puts you to sleep and drink decimates you At 20 year’s old you look 60, because of this acid poison Your mother carries humiliation alone Her 2 boys in jail, she suffers the insults, armed with a gun Speeding, music on the maximum Stupid actions, you get into putrids shallows « Pastis », drugs, passive hours You sway, collapse, in this stony and dark scenery I forgive because revenge is infinite I don’t want to announce to my friend’s mother : « Your son is disabled » Chorus Translated by Luise and AJT
