Untitled

In the dark did I find my lonesome
Until it became my escape.
The bang, the chats, the cries
That starved my eyes.

If I couldn't have myself
Then I couldn't have anyone else.

When's the last time
I've had my heart-to-heart-to-heart with her?
Not since my daddy's heart went out
I remembered.

If I can't forgive myself
Then I will never forgive anyone else.
