Crimson eyes of a lasting hurt
That chases back in time
His sweet half truths, the smell of his shirt
His fingers entiwned in mine
An explosive romance we tried to hurry
Ignoring reason and truth
Trying and failing to secretly bury
Our half-meant "i love you"s
Careless lips and damaged pride
Crushed and bruised us sore
A love tainted with mistrust and lies
Our hearts cannot ignore
Now here we are, in our world of stage
Years after a bitter farewell
Unable to forget the love we waged
That condemned our hearts to hell
An "i'm sorry" that's true, yet inadequate
To give way for a gracious restart
But I hope my apology, however late
Could heal our broken hearts
