1. Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting.

I'm through with doubt
There's nothing left for me to figure out
I've paid a price
And I'll keep paying.

[Chorus:]
I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell and
I don't have time to go round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
‘Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should.

2. I know you said
Can't you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it.

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don't mind sayin'
It's a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Sayin' that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over.

[Chorus x2]

[Coda:]
Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting.
