"My one regret" - working title
Breakups suck.
I wanted to be the one
to heal your scars
fight your fears
be the one to show you
how beautiful you are
now I'm left with myself
when there was you and no one else
it's all I can do cry
and wipe the tears from my eyes
and deep down, I know I should hate you
but I can't help but love you
I choke on every other word
the only words that I can speak
and all I want to do is scream
but life keeps it trapped inside me
And all I can remember
is how beautiful you are
and I know I can't live without
running into you
but I need to breathe again
to remember who I am without you
scream what you can't pray
think what you can't say
scatch at all the memories
and bleed it all away
but even blood reminds me
how beautiful you are
the look in your eyes
is etched in my mind
the way that you smiled
made me realize
I was more than just a worthless child
when I stood by your side
and now I sit alone
and watch life pass me by
I still know
the touch of your soft skin
your perfume floating in the air
I don't know what I did
but the cost, I cannot bear
deep down I know that I should hate you
but I can't help but love you
With my dying breath
I'll voice my one regret
that I never showed you
how beautiful you are
