Apologies
Imagine a rip
 The sound piercing dead silence
 A scream of pain coming from the
 
 
  action
 The horrendous sound coming from US
 
 I can't help it that I ruin things
 I suppose it's just habit
 I just didn't pull back soon enough
 
 Now there's a mess on the floor 
 shredded paper everywhere
 littered on them , words of
 
 frustration and anger
 Tape tries to put them back
 
 together, but it's never the
 
 
 same
 
 I've always been like this afraid
 
 to get to close
 This time I got lost, lost in
 
 those dangerous eyes
 Everything I thought would happen
 
 did
 My world shattered and I'm bitter
 
 How good this rip feels, as it
 
 pains you
 
 I never intended for this to guilt
 
 me
 I never intended to hurt you, but
 
 you hurt me first
 How much better a job you did as
 
 well
 I'm sorry though, that
 
 you're oblivious
 
 you're not listening
 
 you're just not getting it
 And yes I am sorry, that
 
 I'm mean
 
 I'm thoughtless
 
 and that I'm not sorry for
 
 
   how I feel
 
 As we pick up the ripped bits
 Tears begin to swell
 If you had read the lyrics on the
 
     page
 This rip would never had happened
 I suppose I'm just not that straight forward when it comes to pen and paper
