After all these years
All this time
the Sun never says to the Earth
"You owe me"
And look
what happens
with a love
like that
It
lights
the
whole
sky

He wants to say 'I love you'
but only manages a 'goodnight'
because love will mean falling
and she's afraid of heights

Sometimes I wonder
whether the forecast in my eyes
whether the weather in my heart
will be something, anything
other
than
rain

Sorry is an understatement
For all I've caused in my cruel life
I guess there is no measurement
I've brought misery and strife

How can I erase all my mistakes?
Can I take back every word?
All the lies and hearts I did break
And ease those I disturbed

Regret is clogging my mind
And has taken over my rage
If only I could rewind
And show how much I've changed

I will wait until they deem me fit
Of their forgiveness or not
You don't know how good you have it
Until it is lost
