Short on Penance

I couldn't look at my reflection
Cause I heard what it would say
That I knew this day would come
And I wouldn't be ok

I chose to let you go
I tried to outrun the pain
Like trying to stay dry
Standing under pouring rain

Cold water seeps into bone
I crumble like salt and you
Sink like a stone
I'm still short on the penance
I owe
My love

I look at you now
With nothing to say
Fighting the urge to
Beg you not to go
Please don't go

Won't you forgive me now
I tried to outrun the pain
Like trying to stay dry
Standing under pouring rain

Cold water seeps into bone
I crumble like salt and you
Sink like a stone
I'm still short on the penance
I owe
My love

Like leaves of spring thought I was brave
But I just fall
To the ground when seasons change
Only trees
Can make it through the winter
Stoic and strong, you always gave me shelter
I was wrong
I was wrong
It was you all along
It was you all along

Cold water seeps into bone
I crumble like salt and you
Sink like a stone
