Can’t even look you in the face
Don’t want to deal with the shame of what I let go
So I choose to stay as far away as possible
You always were my angel so the space is your halo
I could just say sorry, apologize for the wrong I’ve done
What would that do?
You wouldn’t believe me anyway
Remember the last time that I could you this was the last
time I was going to do you wrong?
I wouldn’t expect you to think this time I’ve changed
Still been keeping tabs on you through mutual friends
that don’t treat me with distain due to the way I treated you
I admit both times I was a shell of a man
Love isn’t a game
Had no right to play with your heart
Wasn’t even worthy to hold it up
Hands got shaky
Blame it on the drugs they had me geeking
Nerves on the ends of my fingers started tweaking
One of the words most beautiful jewels in the palms of my
hands
Many told me it resembled a precious ruby when held to
the light
Wouldn’t you know I had to go and fuck things up just
like I always do
Third time’s the charm but I’ll spare myself the
disappointment I won’t try to invade what I am sure is now the fortress that is
your heart
Shopping at the store of the ones who have had love and
lost it
And everything in here is in my size
