I can Forgive, But Can Never Forget

[Verse] Whispers filled the empty space. You told me stories, they had no face, Said it meant nothing, just a mistake. But my heart knows of no escape [Pre-chorus] A shadow falls A memory calls [Chorus] I can forgive, but never forget. That ghost lingers, in my heart yet. My trust it took, the hardest hit, I can forgive, but never forget. [Verse 2] The scent of her perfume, tho’ a tiny trace, Left on your shirt, after that cruel embrace. You wiped it away, with timely haste But my mind retains that terrible mistake [Prechorus] A shadow falls A memory calls [Chorus] I can forgive, but never forget. That ghost lingers, in my heart yet. My trust it took, the hardest hit, I can forgive, but never forget. [Bridge] Time heals all wounds they say But some scars they simply stay A part of me will always weigh What happened on that fateful day [Chorus] I can forgive, but never forget. That ghost lingers, in my heart yet. My trust it took, the hardest hit, I can forgive, but never forget. [Prechorus] A shadow falls A memory calls [Chorus] I can forgive, but never forget. That ghost lingers, in my heart yet. My trust it took, the hardest hit, I can forgive, but never forget. Another song which was inspired after reading this phrase in a magazine. Hoping after the last upload, my spell of writer's block was over, but took the easy way out and asked Suno for a little help. I did a considerable amount of editing of the offered lyric but must admit I am still finding it difficult to tell a story in a way which leads to a strong song lyric. I could call it a matter of not seeing the wood for the trees, I guess? I need to work on this! But anyway, after several iterations, throwing many into the proverbial trash can, I ended up with this . Easier to work from a third person view (the female singer (?) and her feelings rather than a lengthy, detailed expose. Maybe this could help me move forward for the next song. I have come to like this song, hope you can do.
