I'll forgive, but not forget - complete 3.0

**Verse 1:** They slammed the door, locked me inside, Said I did wrong, but they lied, A crime unknown, my freedom stripped, Innocence buried, justice flipped. **Chorus:** I’m in these chains, yet my soul’s free, Fighting the darkness that swallows me, I didn’t do it, I swear, believe, An innocent heart, they deceive, I'll forgive, but not forget, This scar, my soul’s amulet, I'll never forget, but I'll forgive, Higher justice will come, but not just yet. **Verse 2:** Walls closing in, shadows grow tall, Echoes of silence in this empty hall, Time passes slow, truth’s denied, In this cold cell where hope has died. **Chorus:** I’m in these chains, yet my soul’s free, Fighting the darkness that swallows me, I didn’t do it, I swear, believe, An innocent heart, they deceive, I'll forgive, but not forget, This scar, my soul’s amulet, I'll never forget, but I'll forgive, Higher justice will come, but not just yet. **Verse 3:** Letters unsent, cries unheard, Locked in this cell, without a word, Memories fade, but I hold tight, To the day I’ll see the morning light. **Chorus:** I’m in these chains, yet my soul’s free, Fighting the darkness that swallows me, I didn’t do it, I swear, believe, An innocent heart, they deceive, I'll forgive, but not forget, This scar, my soul’s amulet, I'll never forget, but I'll forgive, Higher justice will come, but not just yet. **Bridge:** Outside these bars, the world moves on, While I’m stuck here, singing this song, Dreaming of freedom, a life renewed, For the fault they claimed, but I never knew. **Chorus:** I’m in these chains, yet my soul’s free, Fighting the darkness that swallows me, I didn’t do it, I swear, believe, An innocent heart, they deceive, I'll forgive, but not forget, This scar, my soul’s amulet, I'll never forget, but I'll forgive, Higher justice will come, but not just yet. **Outro:** One day truth will break the walls, Justice will answer my desperate calls, Till then I wait, my spirit bright, Innocence shining through the darkest night.
