Forgiven Not Forgotten
The Corrs Lyrics

All alone, staring on
The woman is by herself and watching her life go by without much meaning or excitement.

Watching her life go by
She is not actively engaging in life, but rather observing it.

When her days are grey
The woman's days are lacking any spark or joy.

And her nights are black
The nights are dark and long, likely filled with loneliness and sadness.

Different shades of mundane
The woman's life lacks variety or excitement.

And the one eyed furry toy
The woman's only companion is a stuffed animal.

That lies upon the bed
The toy sits idle as the woman goes through life.

Has often heard her cry
The woman has shed many tears in the presence of this toy.

And heard her whisper out a name
She has called out for someone by name, perhaps a lost love.

Long forgiven, but not forgotten
She may have forgiven this person, but the memory of them still lingers.

You're forgiven not forgotten
The person she addresses has been forgiven, but they are still remembered.

A bleeding heart torn apart
The woman's heart is still aching and broken.

Left on an icy grave
This could be a metaphor for a person who has died and left the woman feeling alone.

In the room where they once lay
This room was once a source of warmth and connection for the woman.

Face to face
The couple was once so close they could look at each other.

Nothing could get in their way
Their love was strong and passionate.

But now the memories of the man are haunting her days
She can't stop thinking about the lost love.

And the craving never fades
She still yearns for the man.

She's still dreaming of a man
The man still holds a place in her dreams and thoughts.

Still alone, staring on
The woman is still by herself and feeling numb to life.

Wishing her life goodbye
She may be contemplating suicide or just wishing her life were different.

As she goes searching for the man
She may be actively seeking out the lost love.

You're not forgotten
The person she addresses is still in her memory and heart.
