"Hello, my name is Misty, and sometimes I can be a jerk. So please forgive me" Can we just start over, please?
pretend I didn’t say all those things I’d like to stop feeling like a jerk pinned to the ceiling I didn’t mean to sting I swear, and yet it just keeps happening again and again what must be wrong with me? to keep hurting to keep flirting with regret over and over I just want to forget Forget So can we just start over, please? pretend I didn’t mean all those things pretend I didn’t scream or think pretend I didn’t hurt or sink into this hole I keep digging deeper and deeper for myself? let go of the guilt that eats from the inside that burns and stings and lives and breathes So why don’t we just start over? Please. pretend I never felt these things just take a step back and relax forget the “what could have beens” and focus on the nows So, here goes: Hello, my name is Misty and I can be a jerk sometimes so please forgive me But if you really care about me as much as I do about you We can just start over and forget the past Focus on what’s right in front on what we have and this time, try to make it last

Do you know how it feels
to burn alive inside To not know which way to go because both paths appeal to one side or the other The side of you that wants to do the right thing No matter what that trusts and sees and still believes And the side that just wants to be true that wants to be free to choose no matter what that’s tired of the pain and rage, and strain of being in a cage Stuck in the middle flaming, seering seeing double because it never ends the choices the paths the cliffs the traps Either way you hurt yourself either way you hurt someone else So which do you choose? The one that’s selfless that makes you less of yourself To make them smile while you slowly fade Or do you go the other way And one day pay for your mistakes? For the sake of a glimmer of happiness a tiny ray of sunshine today? |
