The years go by and the pain still lingers

Mistakes from the past still haunting me today

longing for the relief of a new day.

Nights filled with tears that can’t

wash away the pain

weighed down with shame

fighting to let go of regret

creating distance from the past.

Can you see the pain in my eyes

I’m desperate for love

and in need of your grace.

I’ve looked for love in all

the wrong places.

Made mistakes and I’m still paying the price

Torn between shame and passion

The heartbreak runs deep

Completely heartbroken

over words never spoken

mend the broken pieces

heal the hidden places

I tried to keep locked away

to scared to get attached

so I never let anyone stay

as soon as I do the leave

people leave

people leave me
