Forgiven Not Forgotten (Official Lyric Video)

“Forgiven Not Forgotten” is a haunting rock ballad about the scars we carry after love ends. It’s not about second chances, but about facing memories that linger like smoke, too deep to erase. With fiery imagery and raw emotion, the song explores the space between closure and pain — where forgiveness is possible, but forgetting is not. © 2025 RockExit

Lyrics

I burned the bridge and watched it glow
Ashes fell where rivers flow
A quiet storm inside my chest
No place to run no place to rest

Forgiven not forgotten
The scars are still begotten
You said it’s over but it’s not gone
Forgiven not forgotten
A melody misbegotten
The song plays on and on and on

I see your face in broken glass
Every crack holds the past
Words we spoke
They cut like steel
Time won’t heal what’s too real

I’m not asking for a second chance
Just a way to leave this dance

Forgiven not forgotten
The scars are still begotten
You said it’s over but it’s not gone
Forgiven not forgotten
A melody misbegotten
The song plays on and on and on

It’s not a chain
It’s not a cage
It’s a ghost on every page
Turning leaves but they don’t stay
Memories whisper anyway

Forgiven not forgotten
The scars are still begotten
You said it’s over but it’s not gone
Forgiven not forgotten
A melody misbegotten
The song plays on and on and on
