When did sorry become throwaway?
When did remorse become a game to play?
When did I become an adult?
When did I lock myself in a vault?
When did life become so serious?
When did life become so meaningless?
When did you and I last cry?
When did we both ask why?
When did we re-evaluate our pain?
When did we measure our gain?
When did you and I remain,
Together, forever, in emotion and shame?
