can you feel me slowly dying
as your hand lies out of reach
my heart wilts, slowly melting
hands numb and barely shaking
i long to stare
into your oceanic eyes
but all i see
are the white walls of my confines

i wish i could tell you i'm sorry
but i have no real excuse
i simply play with hearts
for the taking
but i feel so much remorse

could you hear my chest screaming
or did you think it was mere laughter
you look inside my demon eyes
but can't see the love they hold for you
only the carelessness and selfishness
that you ascribe to me

please let me say i'm sorry
please know it was a mistake
please understand it's only you that i want
please let me hold your hand
