Mistake

I lie awake with my regrets
Cheeks stained with tears that I have wept
Little red lines on my wrist
I tell myself they're punishment
For what
I did
To you

Oh how I wish that it was worth it
Oh how I wish I could be perfect
More like you
I wish my pain could compensate
I wish these cuts would wash away
Your tears

Is there no way to put this right?
Will my whole life be sleepless nights?
Can we ever be the same?
You say it's fine, I'm not to blame
For what
Happened
To you

Oh how I wish that I was worth it
Oh how I wish we could be perfect
Like you deserve
I wish mistakes could be erased
I wish my love wasn't replaced
With tears

Now that everything has passed
Your sea of anger's still at last
My thunderstorm can rage on through
'Cause suddenly I know it's not
Just what
Happened
To you
