Sorry...


ignition stands still 
 past recognition 
 it’s not what i promised
 it’s not what i’d planned
 i’m sorry
 if i could take it back i would
 it was all in the moment
 the timing
 my fault
 yet you take the blame
 and you say
 you’re okay
 but it’s not your place
 to say
 you’re okay
 because if i could go 
 back to the start
 fix what began
 i’d never stop being sorry
 it’s not what i planned
 it’s a promise
 past a moment in time
 it’s a promise 
 not in fact due to rhyme 
 with that same sulking rhythm
 i cry in the night 
 for when i’m without you
 it never feels right
 yet i live on knowing
 ignition stands still
 past recognition
 it’s not what i promised
 and it’s not what i’d planned
 still you take the blame
 and you say you're okay
 but it's not your place
 to say
 you're okay
 because
 ignition stands still
 past recognition
 it’s not what i promised
 and it’s not what i’d planned
