FORGIVE

I broke the promise

With all those stories

I realized I fell out of place

But let me fill in the space

I pledge there is no turning back

I want to stay in your arms forever

They say I’ve got it all

But they don’t know all is you

I had my fears

I should have put you first

I wonder why I let you down

You shared my dreams

You shared my bed

I’ve been addicted to you

Nobody can make me high except you

Is it too late to apologize?

I’m remorseful over my contempt

My pride has taken a fall

Cos I don’t want to lose you

So, I drop to my knees and say

“Please FORGIVE me”

I mean it from my soul

My flow is still my state of mind

Only you can give me my inner peace

LIES                                      

ALL YOU SAID REALLY HURT TO THE CORE

NO BLOOD OOZES FROM THIS STAB

BUT MY HEART ACHES

MY TRUST IS MISPLACED

I’M FULL OF SORROW

IN NEED OF A SMILE TO BORROW

YOU HAVE EYES OF THE INNOCENT

AND A TONGUE OF DECEIT

I PROMISED YOU FOREVER

I TRIED TO MAKE IT LAST

NEVERTHELESS THE WOUNDS CAN’T HEAL

I’M IN UTTER DISMAY

THE TRUTH HURTS

THE LIES KILLS THE TRUST

ALL YOU SPOKE WAS GLIB

MY EYES ARE SAD

I SEE PAIN IN THEM,

WHEN I STARE IN THE MIRROR.
