Ode To a Doomed Love

I hurt you in ways That words can't explain But I'll say it I'm sorry Again and again I did love you That much was true But in the end I couldn't see through The pain I felt About someone else I took it out on you And that wasn't fair Time passes by, In colors and shapes, Things got brighter, Then turned to grey. You were the colors The sounds of my life But in the end My love was deadlier than a knife. I hurt you, baby In more ways than one Not even psychology can explain The things I've done If only you knew How much I hated Putting you down And making you feel degraded I was abusive, I know now Always making you frown I put you through hell boy, And I can't excuse that But she made you happy There's no doubt about it I loved you, it's true But not as much as I should've Had I made myself better And asked you to stay Then maybe, Just maybe You would’ve. Time passes by, In colors and shapes Things got brighter, Then turned to grey. You were the colors, The sounds of my life. But in the end, My love was deadlier than a knife. Forgive my transgressions My past differences I'm not the same person I was when we met. I've changed for the better, Cleaned myself up And in that self-loathing rut I'm no longer stuck. Time passed by, In colors and shapes, Things are brighter After turning grey You were the sounds, The colors of my life But in the end, I knew My love wasn't right.
