Perfect Today
I lied to everyone
When I said I didn’t love you
And I would be lying to myself
If I won’t admit
That leaving you is my biggest regret
I can’t change time
And I can’t change what I have done
But I can change
I fall in your eyes
Like a deer in headlights
The subtle changes in our ways
Echoes off the walls in ignorance
I can’t change the world
I can’t change your heart to love me
But I have been here all along
I hear you when you cry
And I know everytime you lie
I can feel you when you breathe
Am I still nothing to be seen?
I am so sorry-
That I have done all these things
I am so sorry-
That I can’t change the past to be perfect today
I lie to everyone
When I say I am not alone inside
I fail to see the light
Even when I am stuck here in darkness
But still, if I could give you back the life
That I took that night
I would change the world
To be perfect today
I cry every morning
When I realize-
That you won’t be there to heal my wounds
And I die on the inside
When I see that the world has no sympathy for me
What have I done-?
To receive this pain
What have I done-?
To feel this way
I am so sorry-
That I haved done all these things
I am so sorry-
That I can’t change to past to be perfect today
The night stabs me like a million little teeth
Bringing the aweful truth to me
That I am forever alone
The morning brings its clear light
That was missing all night
But still I fail to see
I don’t deserve you
Or any of the things you do
I have fought for so long
But my heart has been torn apart so many times,
That I am losing all faith in love
I am so sorry-
For all the things that I have done
I am so sorry-
I can not change the past to be perfect today
