Forgiving You Was Easy

Willie Nelson

Transposer:

Forgiving you was easy but forgetting Seems to take the longest time I just keep thinking And your memory is forever on my mind You know I’ll always love you And I can’t forget the days when you were mine Forgiving you is easy But forgetting seems to take the longest time The bitter fruit of anger growing Growing from the seeds of jealousy Oh what a heartache but I forgive The things you said to me Cause I believe forgiving Is the only way that I’ll find peace of mind And forgiving you is easy But forgetting seems to take the longest time The years have passed so quickly as once again Fate steals a young man’s dreams Of all the golden years And growing old together you and me You asked me to forgive you You said there was another on your mind Forgiving you is easy But forgetting seems to take the longest time Forgiving you is easy But forgetting seems to take the longest time

La chanson aborde le thème complexe du pardon et de l'oubli dans une relation amoureuse. Le narrateur exprime qu'il est relativement simple de pardonner les erreurs de l'autre, mais qu'il est bien plus difficile d'effacer les souvenirs douloureux de cette relation. Ces pensées reviennent sans cesse, et malgré l'amour persistant pour l’autre, la douleur des souvenirs lui pèse. Il évoque aussi la jalousie et la souffrance causée par des paroles blessantes, tout en révélant sa volonté de trouver la paix intérieure à travers le pardon. Le passage du temps ne semble pas apaiser cette lutte entre le souvenir et le désir de tourner la page, rendant la situation encore plus poignante.
