Sometimes I don’t know what to say to you

Say something, say anything

So I write it down in the dark by myself

If only I had told you…

When my mind isn’t cluttered by the daylight

I wish I hadn’t left…

All that surrounds it

If I had loved you more…

You shed light on my scars, my faults

If you only knew…

You are the daylight I fear,

And love at the same time

I’m tugging on my sleeves

As I cover up the years of pain

And looking at you, hoping, just… hoping

That you won’t notice

How imperfect I really am

But I can’t get the words to roll off my tongue

Say something… say anything… please.

It’s too much to ask you

To pull at the strings and unravel me

While I resist and hold a grudge

For something that wasn’t your fault

I just wish I could hold you accountable

For something… for anything

I’m trying to say

I forgive you.

I forgive you, I forgive you, I forgive you.

But sometimes even night isn’t dark enough

For me to confess this

Instead, I sit here, staring at you

Telling myself,

Say something…

Say anything.
