Apologies On A Clothes Lines

Folder: 
The Present

Well I heard that you got hurt

But I was just too far gone to care

And just the same to want to return

So this time you shouldn’t expect a “I hope you get better”

Cause I remember the way you used to read my letters

In front of your friends and laughing at the words



I’ve punished myself enough

Enough to know that it kinda feels good

To know that you’re in a little pain

But don’t get me wrong, I’m not cold hearted

Cause this is the first time it’s actually feels warm

And I’m not sorry for that

No, not this time



Apologies on a clothes line

Hung out until they’re finally dry

And then faded by the sun

Well this is the first time I’ve enjoyed the light

In a while, I might come back inside

Not today



I might come back inside

No, not this time

I might step out of the light

No, not today

No, not this time

Not today



Well I heard that you got hurt

Well maybe it’s what you need to learn to feel

And I’m not sorry for saying that

I’m not going to read your letter



Let it fade in the sun
