The Guilty Ballad

I knew it was wrong I’m sorry It wasn’t for that long I’m sorry But the deed is now done I’m sorry And I’m no longer his fun I’m sorry He seemed so calm I knew it was wrong While I had a qualm I knew it was wrong But I buried my Yelp I knew it was wrong To ask lord for help I knew it was wrong My eyes went dead He seemed so calm Only they left the bed He seemed so calm I pushed his wet chin He seemed so calm Off of my scarred skin He seemed so calm I’m sorry My eyes went dead Next time I’ll parry My eyes went dead He asked if I loved him My eyes went dead I’ll always love you Tim My eyes went dead I left his house silent I’m sorry I was the compliant I’m sorry I’ll never be the same I’m sorry And I know I am to blame I’m sorry
