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

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

I know you said
Can't you just get over it?
It turned my whole world around
And I kinda like it

I made my bed, and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets, and I don't mind saying
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
Saying that I better
Shut up and sing
Or my life will be over?

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

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, what it is you think I should
What it is you think I should

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

    agreed with other posters - one of the greatest comeback songs ever. let's face it, anyone that says that they LOVE WAR is warped. it's clear now after the fact that WE STILL HAVE WAR CONTINUING with this new idiot also. to quote a movie line: THERE'S NO HEAD TO CUT OFF... IT'S A CONGLOMERATE.

    so, her comment about bushco was somewhat amiss, because we're still over there and expanding.

    you can't blame ANY American for wanting our boys home. it's only those caught up in the left and right propaganda that get all bent out of shape. they're just flip sides of the same coin. those in the shadows run our world and the politicians are scum, but they're just puppets of the elite globalists.

    you know, each of them will get what they deserve. glad the chicks are back just doing their thing. time does heal all wounds. time is the best equalizer, too.
