tastybento - Forgive & Forget (feat. Tia Clarke) Lyrics

Every chirp, every mock, it echoes in my brain
Sharp barbs in every alley, it's driving me insane
In the pubs, in the clubs, their whispers fuel the flame
This city's chewing up my name, this bitterness I can't tame
It's like poison in my veins, this rage that I contain
A silent scream across the Thames, my composure I feign
Every corner whispers secrets, every street's a bitter game
The shadows hold their laughter, in this concrete jungle's claim
Hold tight, let go, it's a balance act
Gotta drop the weight to keep the love intact
Let it slide, let it roll, off the back, don't sweat
Friends and kin with a grin, no room for regret
It's the love we give, and the love we get
So forgive and forget, then on freedom you're set
Laugh it off when the glass spills onto the floor
It's not the mess that counts, it's the laughter that we're here for
Sometimes it's hard, with the cuts still sore
Even when they ain't sorry, it's a silent war
But I'm standing firm, not keeping the score
Cause it takes a real tough guy to unlock that door
So we'll toast to the future, drink to the past
Let go of the anchor, we're free at last
Ain't about who's wrong or right
It's about living well, shining bright
Drop the grudge, embrace the beat
Forgive and forget, get back on your feet
Life's too short for a grudge to keep
So we jump to the rhythm, let the music seep
No longer hostage to the ghosts of the past
We wear our scars proudly, cause they won't be the last
With each lesson comes strength, in the mirror-a new face
Reflecting all the power of grace's embrace
