I never thought I'd bring you pain
A fleeting thrill, no harm, no chain
My heart was lost, my mind was weak
A foolish game, a secret cheat
But you found out, you saw the truth
A fragile heart, shattered in youth
When I saw the tears in your eyes
A part of me just withered, died
Now the blood in my veins, it runs so cold
The weight of my sins, oh, it takes its toll
Every night I'm haunted by your cries
I broke your heart, now mine slowly dies
I hear your sobs when I close my eyes
The guilt, the shame, no lullabies
I loved you then, I love you still
But how can I speak of love unfulfilled?
For love can't dwell where deceit has lied
The ache within, it can't be denied
I don't seek forgiveness, that's not my plea
I just need you to know, it tortures me
Now the blood in my veins, it runs so cold
The weight of my sins, oh, it takes its toll
Every night I'm haunted by your cries
I broke your heart, now mine slowly dies
I tore apart what we once had
A broken man, a love gone bad
But I hope you find someone who sees
The worth in you that slipped from me
Now the blood in my veins, it runs so cold
The weight of my sins, oh, it takes its toll
Every night I'm haunted by your cries
I broke your heart, now mine slowly dies
Though it hurts, I'll let you go
To find the love I couldn't show
In this confession, I lay it bare
May you find peace, though it leaves me in despair
