Contrition

The sun will
Rise and fall
Spreading Darkness
Over the horizon as it fades
Sleepless nights, lying awake
Speaking into the dark
Whispering your name
The notch in my throat grows tighter
Memories flood back but I'm not feeling lighter

I feel dead
Sleepless nights, this guilt is eating me alive
I see red
What I see when I think of all the lost time
Didn't think that this would be the last time
Dead
Sleepless nights this guilt is eating me alive

A losing fight
You were never one to give up
But I see you're left without a choice
I'm begging for another chance
To hear your voice
Another chance
To hear your voice

Exuding air and wasting away
Giving up before the night has met the day
Holding hands for hope of another way
Tired eyes
Begging for relief of pain

Dead
Sleepless nights, this guilt is eating me alive
I see red
What I see when I think of all the lost time
Didn't think that this would be the last time
Dead
Sleepless nights this guilt is eating me alive
Dead

What I see when I think of all the lost time

Forever in my thoughts, you'll stay
My heart is where you'll remain
I'll regret the time I wasted before you were
Dead

I took you for granted
I'll always regret it
I'll never forget it
But you'll never hear it from me
Regret
