Forgive me for trying
Trying not to be the same
Forgive me for crying
Crying with red puffy eyes
An escape I used to ease the pain

I grow tired of silently sobbing
Crying over something not worth my tears
But the tears never stop flowing
Flowing through my mind for all those years

I need your forgiveness
In order to right my wrongs
Or is it really forgiveness
When all I want is to move on

Am I the one at fault
Was I selfish for knowing you
You're nothing but a foolish dolt
Too bad I wasn't talking to you

You want to move forward and forgive
I want to turn away and forget my regrets
How come both are so hard to do
I tilt my head up and look high
Eyes raised to the dawning sky
Hoping the clouds might give me a clue
