Forgiven Not Forgotten lyrics
The CorrsAll alone, staring on
Watching her life go by
When her days are grey
And her nights are black
Different shades of mundane
And the one eyed furry toy
That lies upon the bed
Has often heard her cry
And heard her whisper out a name
Long forgiven, but not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're not forgotten
A bleeding heart torn apart
Left on an icy grave
In the room where they once lay
Face to face
Nothing could get in their way
But now the memories of the man
Are haunting her days
And the craving never fades
She's still dreaming of a man
Long forgiven, but not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're not forgotten
Instrumental
Still alone, staring on
Wishing her life goodbye
As she goes searching for the man
Long forgiven, but not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're forgiven not forgotten
You're not forgotten
You're not forgotten
No, You're not forgotten

Brief: Forgiven Not Forgotten is the title track from the debut album by Irish band - The Corrs. It was released in February 1996 as the second single from the album.
It is a ballad that tells the story of a relationship that has been damaged by mistakes and hurtful actions. The singer acknowledges that they have made mistakes and asks for forgiveness, but also expresses frustration that the other person is not able to move past the pain and let go of the past.
The chorus repeats the phrase "forgiven, not forgotten," suggesting that while the hurt may be forgiven, it will never be forgotten or fully erased.
The song features Andrea Corr's signature vocals and the band's signature blend of pop, rock, and traditional Irish music. It was a commercial success, reaching the top 10 in several countries, including Ireland, the UK, and Australia.
