What do we do now

A promise is a promise

until it's broken

A relationship is perfect

until it's betrayed

A girl is sweet and loving

until she stabs you in the back

and then -

what do you have to live for?



Didn't we almost have it all?

Didn't we have a perfect life?

Didn't you love me madly, truly?

Didn't I love you back?



I can tell you what you want to hear

he was nothing, everything? to me

It was phiscal

or mental

or

I can tell you the truth

that I was not thinking

and that as I did it

I knew I had broken your heart

so I leaned back and stopped

and walked away

knowing you don't deserve this



Didn't we almost have it all?

Before I went and fucked it up?

Didn't you love me madly, truly?

Before I stabbed you in the back?



You know I don't deserve a second chance

and yet you give me one

You know I don't deserve to live

and yet you give me reason to

YOu know I hate myself for what I did

and yet you don't hate me back

You know I love you, darling

and I always, always will



Can we still have it all?

Can we have our perfect life?

Can you love me madly, truly?



Please forgive me.
