Looking through
Unshed tears in my eyes
I finally see the result
Of my cheating and lies
He’s walking away
On the longest walk of his life
The stretch between me
And were no longer husband and wife
The wound created by mine own hand
Runs straight through my heart
To know what I’ve done to you
It literally tears me apart
I would give my life
For true forgiveness
Yet death would be to easy an end
No, let me live with the pain of all this
