Tonight


Tonight is the the night,

The night when the moon reflects upon all my flaws,

The night when I ask you for your forgiveness,

Because I can't do this alone.

 

It hurts so much when I hate myself,

I feel from grace and marched through hell.

I hoped that I could make up for my mistakes,

But that only led to tragedy and heartbreak.

And I admit that I let down and I let you go,

So now there's only one thing I need you to know,

That I am sincerely sorry.

Let this be my final words,

Even when you cry and it hurts.

Because all I ever did was drag you down,

I hope you see that I am so much better now.

 

Tonight I say I'm sorry,

I beg you to let me back into your heart,

And allow me to sleep on the furniture I tore apart,

Because you are my home.
