It was like sunshine in July
Warm and happy and glorious
I always imagined forever in it
And yet, as time went by
The mask started to slip
Piece by ugly piece
It all came crashing down
Into my waiting arms
Because I always told you
That I would be there
And I would fix
you, me, us
The broken mess I made
But “goodbye” came soon
Long before “I’m Sorry”
And an apology loses
All its power to save
When it’s only me and an echo
