The Compassion I Didn'T Have
The compassion I didn't have...
makes me look back with regret;
yesterday seemed a bit boring
without that happy feeling...
Would you get even and not think
of the consequences of a heartbreak?
We thought life would be so simple,so wonderful...
full of every sweet desire,
and joy,never wanting more!
We reached for the stars and felt invincible,
but underneath there was doubt,
and fear we couldn't figure out!
The compassion I didn't have
can betray me in a moment so sad...
to make me dearly pay
when you'll suddenly turn away;
the compassion I didn't have
can change my reality any day!
Will you reach out to me
and try to forgive me?
Will you feel some sympathy for me,
forgetting that I did you much wrong?
And would it be better to pretend...
than to call it off as a sad memory?
Loneliness burns my nights away
like a fire that can't stop burning,
but inside I am hurting...
remembering the tears you shed,
regretting the compassion I didn't have
and those words I didn't say!
