One Thousand Apologies

There you stood in disbelief,
Trying all you could to see through these lies
And every word that I could breathe
Would find you more inclined to leave, but I tried, I tried
And knowing what I've done to you
With every thought you suffer through
My heart as black as evil can
And everything I could have been
Erased by what I wanted then
I couldn't think a lesser man

All the delicate ways
That I deepened our graves
My apology pales

Oh, the pain in your eyes
My regrets have never known such sorrow
Oh, the shame that you hide
Resolutions are the same tomorrow

So now I reap what I have sown
And any rapture I had shown has bled dry
And I walked the streets alone
Accepting the pain I'd never known, as you died, you died
Then I hurt myself to see it too
To feel the knife put in you
My heart as broken as my ways
I never should've let it pass
This fall was never meant to last
The reason gone and damage stays

All the delicate ways
That I deepened our graves
My apology pales

Oh, the pain in your eyes
My regrets have never known such sorrow
Oh, the shame that you hide
Resolutions are the same tomorrow

Oh, the pain in your eyes
My regrets have never known such sorrow
Oh, the shame that you hide
Resolutions are the same tomorrow

All the delicate ways
That I deepened our graves
My apology pales

Oh, the pain in your eyes
My regrets have never known such sorrow
Oh, the shame that you hide
Resolutions are the same tomorrow
