Not Sure If I Had Posted This One

My heart, at times, seems very vile 
I get lost, and then react from pain
But my soul longs to see your smile

I look back later, there is no denial
Things I say must hurt, must drain
 My heart, at times, seems very vile

I'm the prosecutor in an unjust trial
I become angry, filled with disdain
But my soul longs to see your smile

Of resentments I seem to stock pile
As though it is in hatred I do train
My heart, at times, seems very vile
 
If we could just turn back the dial
For now indifference has the reign
But my soul longs to see your smile

Walk in my shoes jist a single mile
Give me this one chance to explain
My heart, at times, seems very vile
But my soul longs to see your smile
