Today I reached for you With a kind of virtue And sincerity pressed behind the design on my lips Little realizing I was still reviling Within my current remiss
I went and sinned again darlin'
There's little to do for recompense, and so cordially I professed to you all of my candid truths With every intent To avoid becoming uncouth and elusive
Because... I do miss you And I suppose I well knew... You don't feel the same I could feel it the instant you responded Not the least bit concerned Which was well deserved Leaving me completely despondent
I need you to remind me Just how lost my heart has become And what that has cost anyone Trying to reach for me When I become undone
Somewhere in between the real desire to reignite whatever fire had transpired between us With a new flame Lay my hidden ulterior motive
Even I believed we would achieve Something constructive Yet my devious mind Deceived even myself To harness this abject, self-destructive desire
Call me by my real names: Heartless. Narcissist. Liar. Coward. Creep. Thief of catharsis.
Remind me of the same feeling Delivered in your own unique way Because I can't stand To let myself ever forget again This pain in my chest Is everything to remain It's all I have left
