I knew what I was doing
And I know it isn’t fair
To ask for your forgiveness
When I didn’t seem to care

The guilt is more appealing
Than the thought of you with him
But everyday it haunts me
So I’ll go out on a limb

I want to say I’m sorry
For any pain that I have caused
And your happiness is worth
So much more than what mine cost

You’re gorgeous and you’re funny
And you seem so very sweet
Yet I went behind your back
So now there’s pain fueled by deceit

You deserve so much better
Than what I’ve caused you to endure
Just know this guilt feels like a sickness
To which I don’t deserve the cure
