Guided Under Pressure

I'm sorry for all the stupid things I've done I guess I'll leave now before the break of dawn You made me love you, but that didn't last too long You belong with me or so I thought while writing this sad song I'm a terrible guy with a broken heart Strengthen me before I shatter apart I'm such a fool for believing in your fairytale stories Now, I'm left behind and lost in the blemishes of my allegories Have you been led astray? What can I say? Did I make your day? or did I reduce you to utter dismay? I apologize For bringing tears in your eyes And for telling you sugarcoated lies Now, I'm frozen in place forever in your goodbyes I'm alone again in my room of gloom I suppose I'll try to be happy and like a flower in full bloom You made me fall short, but I'll get up and be renewed once more You wronged me and I did you wrong too - I don't know what for I'm a terrible guy with a broken heart Strengthen me before I shatter apart I'm such a fool for believing in your fairytale stories Now, I'm left behind and lost in the blemishes of my allegories Have you been led astray? What can I say? Did I make your day? or did I reduce you to utter dismay? I apologize For bringing tears in your eyes And for telling you sugarcoated lies Now, I'm frozen in place forever in your goodbyes I'm caught up in the current of my bottomless emotions Guide me to a faraway place called Peaceful Splendor...guide me away from the many commotions You pretend that you had nothing to do with me I can see right through you as you can clearly see I'm a terrible guy with a broken heart Strengthen me before I shatter apart I'm such a fool for believing in your fairytale stories Now, I'm left behind and lost in the blemishes of my allegories Have you been led astray? What can I say? Did I make your day? or did I reduce you to utter dismay? I apologize For bringing tears in your eyes And for telling you sugarcoated lies Now, I'm frozen in place forever in your goodbyes I see you crystal clear in my shimmering vision You handle me with such delicate precision I'm under pressure and I don't know exactly what to say or do I've been writing this down with a smile and a frown - that, I did so true Guide me away from here... Lead me away from fear... Guide me with utmost cheer... Happiness and hope will surely appear!
