Cry

There are so many hurtful things
I wish I could take back
So many painful things
That it's hard to keep track

I never meant to be mean
I never wanted to make you cry
My regret goes unseen
and apologies I can't buy

Now we both lie
broken inside
with our tears to cry
and to hide

I want to take back
all the things I said 
All the compassion I lack
stays locked inside my head

I wish I could apologize
for my action
the things I said to brutalize
Just because of my faction
