I Miss You, I'm Sorry

(album: Herald - 2021)

Tear into my skin and bones
How am I supposed to grow
You latched onto my heart with stones
And dragged me beneath the undertow, ha
I've been laughing just to change
The scenery from blue to grey
I just simply can't evade
The mellow man who smiled at me

And it's always easy to tell you I'm sorry
But also to blame you
I invited you over
To tell you how my heart hurts
And you left without knowing the truth

I didn't want to kick you out
I didn't want to lose your love
You'd forgotten all about
The heart you were once so wary of
Now the moments come and gone
I am sitting all alone
At the piano where you once
Kissed me neck and cheek and nose

And it's never easy to tell you I miss you
When I know you do not miss me
When it's a warm night
And the heat leaves me sleepless
I wait for you to call and say

Darling
I'm sorry
I fucked up
Repeatedly
I hurt you
Forgive me
I miss those eyes
That adored me

I guess I'll pour another drink
Apparently that's what we do
The broken hearted, stagnant
Never-moving bodies I'm accustomed to
I cannot seem to let this go
And when I think I'm moving on
I see someone who looks like you and
I just have to stop because

It's always easy to say you were clueless
To tell my friends that I'm alright
And fake moving over a hill set before me
That's just way too god damn high

Darling
I'm sorry
I fucked up
Repeatedly
I hurt you
Forgive me
I miss those eyes
That adored me

I miss you I miss you I'm sorry

Darling
I'm sorry
I fucked up
Repeatedly
But you hurt me
And I had to leave
I miss those eyes
That adored me
