I know I messed things up
by turning gold to stone.
Because of my free will
I lied about it all the way.
I need to forget,
and make this tragic feeling go away
I never heard a word,
a word of what you said.
I never heard a word,
a word of what you said.
Too busy being selfish;
I never learned the rules of life.
It's hard to confess,
and look you in the eyes.
I need you to forgive,
and make this tragic feeling go away.
I know I lost.
Please let me suffer in silence.
I've said enough.
Please help me hide from the ghosts
from my past
for a while
