It began tasting sour, didn't it
His eyes didn't look at you as though you were a gem anymore
(All I ever did was love you
You had no right you had no right)
Remember the first summer
He almost kissed you, didn't he
You still lay in your cold bed and think of his eyes and the way you turned your head
You still cringe when you think of how he hesitated in disappointment
(step one: hurt
step two: hurt)
you wrote about him didn't you
used all your ink to write painful words
and burned the paper because you were too
embarrassed
(its all me; the broken plate, the first words
i'm so sorry)
things change
(things have changed)
how do you ask for forgiveness?
(forgive me)
you don't.
