Sorrows Of A Broken Man

Sorrows Of A Broken Man

The sky was painted gray and blue

The day you left me wondering

When you would get your shit together

The day we can truly be friends

I’m not sorry

I can’t say your name

I know you’re sorry

You left me with a bad aftertaste

There’s just no way

I can leave the space for you to come again and ruin me in the end

I took a thousand steps

To find relief I left behind

To finally see through brand new eyes

If I can have my way

I would never see you again

Erase your sorrows of a broken man

I thought I had you

The first love of mine

But I can see I wasn’t yours

Five years was a long time

On bended knee, I was mistaken

Any “yes” was fueled by star struck mind

It could’ve been that easy

I know, for you, we could still be simple

We never were that, really

You were flames,

I was critical

Surface wasn’t what it seemed

Destructive path

Love was not enough

If it can be claimed

Just give it up

Give us up
