After What He Did

With tears down his eyes 

He struggles to speak  

Saying everything would be alright 

As long as I stay by his side 

But is that what I want? 

Is that what I need? 

Would I feel safe sleeping in his arms 

Knowing what he did that night? 

Would I be able to forgive him? 

Would I be able to forget? 

Can I look at him the same way? 

Has he really changed 

Or is just pretending to be who he is not  

Are the tears down his face full of regret?  

How can I trust him now 

When there's so much to lose  

And not a lot to gain 

Will time ease the pain 

Or only grow every day?  

Look at us now 

Breaking all the promises we made that day 

Crashing all the dreams we were meant to follow 

Throwing everything away 

Look at him now 

Begging me to stay  

Kneeling before me as if I am his queen 

Tears rolling down his eyes 

His voice cracking he attempts to speak 

"I want.. To.. Change.. F..for.. You" 

I want to give him a chance  

But I know better  

It's like he forgot what he did
