Looking at the floor I declare   I can’t go on wasting all my time on you   Trying to ignore your despair   As tears splash down   Naming every flaw of yours   Like a grocery list      I never felt the way that you feel   I never knew my words could heal   Don’t have to look in your eyes to see   The guilt reflected in me      Hope you threw away that self-help book   I bought for you   Like I only wanted to help   Nothing was too small to overlook   I tried hard to   Concentrate on your mistakes   To conceal my own      Sorry to have been so obscene    Would you accept my sincere apologies?   Didn’t have to prove anything   It had to end   But with gentle words   Instead of a shouting match
