saint

Veiled in black
Your memories washing away
Sadness is etched into your face
You can't get them back
They've come and gone, those days
There is no way to reverse the pace

Who am I to decide what's fitting?
And who am I to second guess?
And who are you to be so smitten?
How can you love this wretched mess?

My sanity fades
My mind is a sea of pain
Alone in a web of disdain
It's me I hate
Why don't you feel the same?
You only smile and whisper my name

Why can't you see what is written?
Why must you always see the best?
And why do I feel so snakebitten?
I'm the one that must confess

I can't say I'm sorry
Words are not enough so why should I
Say I'm sorry
Just to tear you apart
I can't say I'm sorry
And hear you ask me just how could I
Say I'm sorry
I'm sorry I broke your heart

My emotions won't stay hidden
I don't deserve your respect
And who do I think that I'm kidding?
What does "I'm sorry" put to rest?

I can't say I'm sorry
Words are not enough so why should I
Say I'm sorry
Just to tear you apart
I can't say I'm sorry
And hear you ask me just how could I
Say I'm sorry
I'm sorry I broke your heart
