What The Thunder Said, Vol 4 | Page 13

I should have said “I’m sorry”

I’m afraid of what you see in me

Lies built up an infinite army

And now I am reduced to nothing

I’m afraid of what you’ve seen

Can’t hide faded cracks and scars

And inside I am reduced to nothing

But dark circles under tired eyes

We can’t hide faded cracks and scars

With makeup and masks and grins

Dark circles under tired eyes

Have yet to disappear with time

With makeup and masks with grins

Your lies are told and rumors spread around

They have yet to disappear with time

In that way, the cycle goes on

Your lies are told, the rumors spread around

And someone else has been hurt

And that way, the cycle goes on and on

Until it reaches back to where it began

Someone else has hurt me

Lies built an infinite army

Until it reached back to where you began

I should’ve never said “I’m sorry”
