Lyrics of Forgive and forget

It was a cold october day
I wish it didn't have to be this way
You told me that you'd be home soon
You never came back
What was i supposed to do
Hey pop if you hear this song
I did what you told me
And always stayed strong
But i admit i can't keep this up
I try not to be, try not to be
Down on my luck

What's done is done and let's move on
Forgive and forget is what i've been taught
I still love you with all of my heart
I'm not a genius and i'm not all that smart
But one thing i know and it's crystal clear
Is i love you dad and i want you here
The times change and so do we
I still hope that you remember me

Sometimes i feel like i'm gonna cry
Sometimes i feel like i am all tore up inside
I did what i could and do what i can
I still want to be your "little man"

I'm not as afraid of the claw anymore
If you come back dad i'll sleep on the floor
You're still my best friend i ever had
Forget the past just be my dad
