The Wrong Side of Right

Punishment continued beyond sanctioned sentence

I want to tell you why I didn’t stay

But I also want to make your pain go away

What can I do to end our misery?

Say I’m sorry 27 million times

every day till the end of my life?

Please push me down the stairs or something!

I’d rather do that!

than watch you self destruct

In your own subterfuge.

Ruining all of our days for forever!

It’s not like I ripped out your heart

threw it down to the ground

And then did a little dance on top of it

Just for good measure

You saw how much it hurt me to hurt you

I didn’t enjoy it, okay?

Did you think that was just a show?

I tried to soften the blow

I planted roses in the pasture

Right next to the bullshit

To cover up the smell for you

I even gave you a chaser to make
