Red Ribbons

another red mark on this tender wrist
for every chance that I've missed
for all the times I've betrayed
for all the mistakes I have made

I've made my bed
so I'll lie in it
i'll wallow in sorrow
I hope you will remit

take me back, i need you now
take me back, someday somehow
take me back, say you'll stay
take me back, blow me away
