Guilty

Folder:

Remnants

There's something that I noticed
The first time you weren't around
That I could breathe and focus
On all that held us down

I know that I take most of the blame
Because I never felt the shame
Of treating you like I never needed you
Of needing you without acting like wanting you
Of wanting to be without giving you what you need

I'm guilty for the pain
I'm the one to blame
I'm guilty of neglecting
Without thought of reflecting
On the guilt that still remains
I'm guilty for your pain

There's shadow in silence
Hope for some kindness
Secrets in blindness
And everything I let get in the way
I'm guilty of the pain

I'm guilty for the pain
I'm the one to blame
I'm guilty of neglecting
Without thought of reflecting
On the guilt that still remains
I'm guilty for your pain

I don't think I told you enough
That I love you so damn much
I don't think I let you feel the truth in me
I just took for granted that we'd always be

I'm guilty for the pain
I'm the one to blame
I'm guilty of neglecting
Without thought of reflecting
On the guilt that still remains
I'm guilty for your pain

This guilt that still remains
Laid out with all the pain
Holds fast to all my shame
The shards of what became
I'm guilty for your pain
I never meant to leave you
Hoping that things would change
I never thought I'd let us
Become a memory

I'm guilty and I'm sorry
I'm guilty for your pain

I'm guilty for the pain
I'm the one to blame
I'm guilty of neglecting
Without thought of reflecting
On the guilt that still remains
I'm guilty for your pain

I'm guilty and I know that
It's the cause of all your pain
