I Only Hope You Don't Forgive Me

by michael-pick

I will run rusted memories Across taunt skin inside my head And I'll say it wasn't so I'll do this for you now And I will not bleed again I will leave you to yourself As I believe in you again That you could do better yet Than someone like me Who just can't decide on anything You don't deserve to be put through this You don't deserve to be put through me So it'll hurt for the time being But someone will decide on you You should know that I'm yours But I'd rather you not be mine You deserve someone who's okay with you Someone who's okay in time I'd rather you never knew me at all And that's a lie I'll treat myself to As you try to soften the blow I've already run myself through Because the things that I've said Are enough to make sunsets fade You don't deserve to hear this You don't deserve to hear my pain And of course I'm hurting you But you'll hurt less overall is my hope I only hope you don't forgive me And that you move on fast If you could find my fears A man I was afraid you'd want Then take up your chances And give him a shot I'd rather you go down fighting Than go down because of words One day you'll be whole for sure And I'll be alone as I've assured You don't deserve to be near me You don't deserve to be alone I hope one day you find a room That you and I are not inside at all
