No-one told me this was the deal

I didnt think that anybody cared

Nobody said that if I wasnt here your heart would break

But you cant make me guilty

No matter how you try

Ive felt guilty too many times

There are no more tears to cry

The fire here is smouldering

Its nearly burnt out and cold

Like the inner reaches of my soul

Its tired and its old

Unaffected by guilt and love and the sounds that make hearts break

Ill say it once, but that is all,

Im sorry I was late.



The hunger cannot reach me as I pile out of the door

The world is waiting for me, I need to leave

I used to hate leaving you here

My heart tugged at my soul and eyes

But now its not so bad.



They question my intentions, where did I go?

The old me died with the fire

Several nights ago

Not really an almighty loss, a born loser and a cheat

But people say they miss the spark

Their pleas fall on deaf ears

The spark that made me human

Ran away to better lands, a shame

I should have gone there too.

The guilt that used to kill me,

Left through the open gate

I will not cry, worry or swear,

I m sorry I was late.



The scene that awaited me

Was hard to bear



My soul, ripped out

Was crying, standing there

You let me go, I wont come back, Ill drag you to your grave

Your allies are depraved

Of sensitivity and warmth

That you used to save.

Youve tarnished all you ever did

Theres no point going on.



The words they stung at first

Because they were true

But it wont make me change my ways

Because I was deaf to all such insults, emotions drag you to hell!



I let it go, it wont come back, itll drag me to my grave

Ill say it only once again,

Im sorr
