Short on Penance

I couldn't look at my reflection

Cause I heard what it would say

That I knew this day would come

And I wouldn't be ok

I chose to let you go

I tried to outrun the pain

Like trying to stay dry

Standing under pouring rain

Cold water seeps into bone

I crumble like salt and you

Sink like a stone

I'm still short on the penance

I owe

My love

I look at you now

With nothing to say

Fighting the urge to

Beg you not to go

Please don't go

Won't you forgive me now

I tried to outrun the pain

Like trying to stay dry

Standing under pouring rain

Cold water seeps into bone

I crumble like salt and you

Sink like a stone

I'm still short on the penance

I owe

My love

Like leaves of spring thought I was brave

But I just fall

To the ground when seasons change

Only trees

Can make it through the winter

Stoic and strong, you always gave me shelter

I was wrong

I was wrong

It was you all along

It was you all along

Cold water seeps into bone

I crumble like salt and you

Sink like a stone
