I

So I misinterpreted you
And what you would do
He tried
I tried
It turned out ugly
I may have my own mugshot
And so does he
But it's not a life sentence
Or a death penalty
I have to live out my time
And do the best to correct it
When I know I will never be able to
But everyone tries
Sometimes people just forget
But others, they remember
Always
Maybe it'll be the same for you
But just remember this: There are always bumps along the road
And this is nothing else but

II

You ask why I did this
Sometimes words can't mean anything
Because, as, they always say, a picture is worth a million words
Because they're just a cent
But combined with others, they can be powerful
And sometimes, you lose a cent or two
This changes the entire meaning entirely
Maybe I lost some words
And maybe I just don't know how to make them a dollar
I try combining them, but it just doesn't work
Maybe I'm trying too hard to find that one cent
That could change everything
But you just don't know
How to explain

But it'll take a long time to heal
If it heals by itself
Maybe the only known cure
Is letting it be
You don't think he's the cure
But he is for me
You always thought it wouldn't work
But we have to stay on where fate tells us
Although how cruel it can be
We've gotten this far
So don't waste it
And we have to keep going
We can still do this, though
We can do it
