I know you gave up and have gone astray,
And my head screams to let you go your way,
But my heart is stubborn, and won't let go,
So here are some things that you need to know:
I do forgive the you, untrue,
I do think we can start anew,
I do still want the man I knew,
I'm yours because I said, "I do."
When you leave me, I know you run to her,
Don't get the wrong idea, I don't defer,
Someday she will not be a novelty,
I'll wait till you miss truth and loyalty.
I do forgive the you, untrue,
I do think we can start anew,
I do still want the man I knew,
I'm yours because I said, "I do."
The pain you brought me brings me to my knees.
My heart's a ship in violent, churning seas.
Your betrayal is the harsh wind that blows,
But even through this storm, I hope you know
I do forgive the you, untrue,
I do think we can start anew,
I do still want the man I knew,
I'm yours because I said, "I do."
When dawn breaks and you come back to your home,
I'll be here waiting, you won't be alone,
I'll never do to you, what you've to me,
You broke my heart, not my integrity.
I do forgive the you, untrue,
I do think we can start anew,
I do still want the man I knew,
I'm yours because I said, "I do."

Author Notes
This is a song, and therefore has the chorus repeated several times. For clarity, the chorus is as follows:
I do forgive the you, untrue,
I do think we can start anew,
I do still want the man I knew,
I'm yours because I said, "I do."
Many of you will probably think that a woman would not forgive her husband after he cheats, butâ?¦ I did.
Thank you so much for reading my song lyrics.
