“Let bygones be bygones” –
The past be the past –
Our disgruntled feelings –
Really shouldn’t last.
“Let bygones be bygones,” –
Is easy to say,
But when your spirit is broken –
You can’t see it that way.
“Let bygones be bygones”
Those little quips and slights,
That cut to the bone –
And turned joy into ice.
“Let bygones be bygones,”
I hear you say –
“I did those things to you –
When we were children at play.”
“Let bygones be bygones” –
How things now have changed –
I’m sorry Mr. Wilson,
Your loan can’t be arranged.
