I start
hit play
and I watched us play.
We were there
Under the cloud weaved sky
It blessed us
But I was blessed by you
Or so I thought.
It was an accident
A mistake
A false intention
I didn't mean to
I trusted the wrong people
You trusted me
And that was your mistake to
I didn't mean to
An accident
A mistake
You fade from me
I fade from myself
Into the blindness of guilt
I could have at least said sorry
But it's like I wasn't allowed.
We were there
Under the could weaved sky
It was ashamed of us.
Ashamed of me.
And soon it was just me
And no longer an 'us.'
It was an accident
Mistake
I'm sorry.
Blame my mouth
For saying the unnecessary
Blame my cowardice
That brought me silent from apology
I don't deserve a second chance
And now I regret it
I regret telling anyone
I regret then being silent
And now I regret ever falling for you
It's only hurt us both.
And now the blessings are ashamed.
I feel a tear
As my eyes are covered in a thin sheet
I turn it off
I refuse to rewind
And all I must do
Is reset.
