bygones

Dolly Parton

Can you forgive me?
It's true I've made mistakes but so have you
It's just so unfair

The way you hurt me
Cuts so deep, I don't think I can heal
You just leave me bare

When you break a trust, it's painful
To find the one you love's no angel
When respect is gone, the biggest part of love goes too

I'm sorry, so sorry
How long must you punish me?
Why can't we just move on?
Let bygones be bygones
But you never will

What's the difference
If this time I'm the one that did the wrong?
Should it matter?

Makin' reference to promises made and broken, you just left
Left me cold as stone

When you break a trust, it's painful
To find the one you love's no angel
When respect is gone, the biggest part of love goes too

I'm sorry, so sorry
How long must you punish me?
Why can't we just move on?
Let bygones be bygones
But you never will

I'm sorry, so sorry
Full of regret
Forgive and forget
I'm sorry, so sorry
You haven't yet
But tell me
Where do we go from here?

I'm sorry, so sorry
How long must you punish me?
Why can't we just move on?
Let bygones be bygones
By God, I'm gone

I'm sorry, so sorry
Truly, I am
How long must you punish me?
Just put it down

Why can't we just move on
Just turn it around
Let bygones be bygones

But you never
You never
Could you ever?
Could you ever?
Would you ever?
Would you ever?
No, you never will
