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”
