Our relationship lies in shambles
I guess I'm to blame
My mistakes have done damage
Things will never be the same
I say words I cannot take back
Ones that cut deep
I am sorry for harsh truths, selfish lies
Promises I failed to keep
I can repair some of what I broke
Not all wrongs can be made right
We put the past behind us
Doesn't mean you're alright
Just because you do not let me see you cry
Does not mean you shed no tears
Beneath your beautiful imperfection
Vision is altered by halting fears
The thought you knew is blurred
Cannot help but look at me differently
Not every single wrinkle in our relationship
Can be smoothed over with an apology
Used to have your trust and respect
You have taken both of them back
Now you stare at me with the same expression
As that of an amnesiac
Is there a road we can take to get back
To the paradise we were at before?
You say I am the only one you want
We both know you deserve more

Ir always rains the hardest on those who deserve sun the most
