Washing Away my Mistakes

Perched upon this large puddin' rock

I sit within the rain,

wishing for to wash away 

all my mistakes I have made.

 

Life has been oh so cruel,

it tore the heart from me,

the mistakes I have made

won't let me be.

 

 I was waiting for someone

to hold me in their loving embrace

and it happened to be you,

now instead I am here, cold, forgotten.

 

A curse has fallen upon me,

a dark and dreary place,

the rain it washes away my very mistakes,

crimson red, brightest blue, silver steel.

 

The choices made were the very mistakes,

that have broken me, not taught me to bend,

my eyes are filled with tears you will never see,

instead the rain washes them from me.

 

All my sins have been justified 

when I look within your eyes

but now you have taken them back,

you have made me dirty, dark, rag-doll.

 

Come with me,

see me squirm,

the iron grip,

deep within this very storm.

 

Impossible to break free,

impossible to hide,

were they all justified

or were they just sins?

 

Love held me to the dying day

when the rain washed it all away,

now that the time has come,

there will be no one.
