Shouldn'T Have
The norm passes by so easily
And there are days that I forget
But the ones that I remember,
Are the ones that I regret.
It’s never just one thing
They all coming rushing in
I hide them all so neatly
That they can not wait to begin
They’re never really dealt with
And I fell nothing but the shame
I can never forgive my sins
So I live in constant pain
There are days sometimes
When I remember to forget
And every once and awhile
I live with out regret
The burden gets so heavy
More and more each day
I will always have this debt
No matter how much I pay
I can feel the toll it’s taking
Containing such a thing
It’s feasts upon my soul
My dominating king.
