Sorry
It's like a ten-ton brick is on my chest
Like someone dropped it from the top of a mountain
It feels like my insides are being sucked out with a straw
Draining me of everything I have
The words are icy but they cut like a searing blade to my skin
I have tears flowing from my face but you still keep digging
It's like what you're searching for you've still not found
I fumble to try to soothe your fury but all I do is ramble
Turning a small crack in the ground to a sinkhole
If sorry doesn't work then what will?
I don't know how to fight once you've taken residence in my soul
I'm like a match that got too close to your flames.
Intrigued by your light and beauty, but once you had me I began to burn
Now that you've scorched me, I'll never be the same.
