Regret

Say I'm true,

Say I'm you,

And that's why I just can't get through

So I'll take some time to realise

Exactly what I'll do,

Because I am quick but flawed

I'm self-assured,

And I'm stretched to this extent,

That you push me to,

And push me through,

All the words I never meant,

As I look out from my bandages,

From my chair beside the bed

Where you cheated once

You cheated twice

But you can't get inside my head

Because I close my eyes,

From this one big lie,

As you search for my consent,

And of all things that I want most,

Are the things that I don't regret,

Say I'm fake,

Say I'm real,

Why don't you say I'm the real deal,

And I'll adhere to all my frequencies,

While I try to make some sense,

Of where I started from,

And where I left off,

And where do I go to next?

So can I break out of these bandages,

Before they wrap around my neck,

Before they choke me down,

I'm passing out,

And I don't know where I'll wake up next,

Same mistake,

So I'll make this apology again,

So I can find,

And redesign,

To make everything alright,

And I'll break on through,

With things to do,

So the nice guy finishes last,

And I'll step outside,

To turn me blind,

So I can't see what I do to you.
