Realization spreading through my veins like cancer
I knew deep down you did not hold the answer
You said that I could do no better
You told me we would last forever
In time I learned that this was indeed untrue
It is your heart that I wish I never knew
You were my undoing, I barely recovered
Now you live with the fact that you will find no other
Doing lifetime of penance as your sentence
I bet you wish now things had turned out much different
Swallowing medicine can be so bitter
When you are alone with your regrets maybe consider
What life would be like without mistakes
I hope it hurts every beat your heart takes
