This is the second time I've said these words to you
but this time you can't tell I'm actually speaking the truth
You can't hear a thing I say, not listening
as the silence stretches between us
The flowers you hold do nothing to hide it;
I'd place a petal in your mouth just to give you the flavor of regret
But I know you'd enjoy feeling something again
to hear the words I'm no longer singing
Spilling plaintive from the heart I let myself break
nothing left to do but fall apart once again
Although I wish you would listen, just once more, to these words
the only way I could forgive myself
to know you can move on without feeling the pain
Give it all to me, I caused it, I deserve it
step away from me without a word in your eyes
Remove me from the box I placed in your heart
after you dust it off, sorry I never visited
Give everything back to me so I won't weigh you down
and walk away unknowing of what I could have given you

Pulled this from parts all throughout the song. Just representing what it gave to me.

Great job on getting gold!
So... all the words are from a song, and you just put them together? That sounds like fun. I should try it some time.
