It happened on the greatest night

I still can feel the trembling

The first time someone listened to my words

I felt my body shivering

I couldn't understand the force

The impact you would have on everything

The air around me staggers and

Envelopes me in promises

The expectations I had as a child

I'm sorry if I'm failing you

I'm sorry if you feel that way

Sometimes we just regret what makes us strong

The time we spend alone is all

The only thing we have for keeps

I tell myself it's different

But it's not

My sadness is a hopeless child

That waits for me to nurture her

To tell her that I need her after all
