Hard time forgiving
Even harder forgetting
Before you do something
You might regret friend
Hard time forgiving
Even harder forgetting
Before you do something
You might regret friend

Took me for granted
But call it love if you will
I'm aware of this
I did let you in
Sink for you to swim
Dancing on the ledge
Tried to let you stay
I did let you win
Broke to what became
Became you & me
Try to mend it but
I can't bend the truth
Bricks are caving in
Oh how sweet this sin
I left you the keys
You won't let me in

Hard time forgiving
Even harder forgetting
Before you do something
You might regret friend
Hard time forgiving
Even harder forgetting
Before you do something
You might regret friend

Left me on the floor
Now I'm at the shore
Here's change you can keep
Sold yourself too cheap
Thought you got away
This here ends today
You thought hell was hard
Let me show you now

Hard time forgiving
Even harder forgetting
Before you do something
You might regret friend
Hard time forgiving
Even harder forgetting
Before you do something
You might regret friend

This time I will be
Louder than my words
Walk with lessons that
Oh, that I have learnt
Show the scars I've earned
In the light of day
Shadows will be found
I will hunt them down

Hard time forgiving
Even harder forgetting
Before you do something
You might regret friend
Hard time forgiving
Even harder forgetting
Before you do something
You might regret friend

Not fair, she's totally dropping syllables and not fully enunciating (not that I have any real problem with that).


She's Swedish with some of her childhood spent in Gambia. It's possible she's just singing English phonetically.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!
 
Thnx for sharing this!! Makes me wish we could go back to being like that! "Off the hook" bus version is nearly as good as artist!! Lol  Good posting for theme.... "Can't we all just get along"?!!
Absolutely brilliant!! Not only is this a very well compiled song, the video link below makes me wish we could get back to a time such as what is experienced in that bus!! We seem to have lost that "social closeness", as demonstrated in video. Well worth the watch!

Was this the theme song for the mini series - Good Behavior?  Which I was totally hooked on? 
 
Yes it was, and I was hooked on it, too.  Shame it went away.  LOVED Ms Dockery as a well-intentioned but flawed mother.
Just not my kind of music.

FANTASTIC!  Great interview with her on sound opinions PRX.
This gets better every time. Swedish too, eh? Brilliant!
Sweden is still exporting lots of music. This girl grew up in the town where I live - had not heard her until this song started playing on Swedish radio a few years ago! Very powerful!

I have had one of those moments where I had previously rated this as a different song.  Sometimes the song list pauses and I think I am listening to something different to what I am.  Its the only way I can explain having given it a 1 and now going for 8 on what I thought was first listen.

 
same here! I believe it was that guttural reaction to all new pop stuff I hear here at RP, this one grew on me {#Yes}
