They Had You Running

Folder: 
The Present

You got me with my head in the thorns

This is a forbidden home

That warns of a future shrouded in black

An illusion that leaves you lacking

All the things that you thought you never had

Were really the things you could just never see

It was a forbidden place



They had you running



I’m so sorry

This apology is just my sympathy

Wrapped in these three little words

I’m so sorry



This is too dark for me to see clearly

This hazy slowly thickens

And it’s nearly the end of this rope

How am I going to cope with these feelings

When I can’t even explain what they mean

Who am I to say it’s right or wrong

This gaze is slowing fixing in on

A forbidden face



They said, the bush was burning



I’m so sorry

This apology is just my sympathy

Wrapped in these three little words

I’m so sorry



You deserved so much better

But now that it’s in the past

You gotta start focusing in on the future

Forgive your enemy

Love your accuser



They had it coming alright

And you say,



I’m so sorry

This is my apology to myself

For believing that I caused this agony

Well this sympathy is for your soul

I hope you die old and happy



I’m so sorry

They had you running
