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.
