I take heartache to my chest

I learned it from the best

Washing out all of this regret

Wear my heart out on my sleeves

You will never let me be

You just try to tape the leak

Forgiveness is not my friend

But I have to try to make amend

I can never seem to forget

All of the nights we used to spend

Sitting at that culdasac

I hate discussing retrospect

And I hate that I can't

Trust your blood and skin and bones and empty promises like I used to

Now in this pouring rain

I'm walking down suburb sidewalks

Asking myself if I'll ever be okay

I saw your car pass

Saw you turn your head fast

As I am walking in the pouring rain

Stepping in puddles

The grass begins to muddle

My footprints indented in my brain

I saw your shadow

Consume and made me hollow

Unsure on what of me is my remain

I'm forever in your shadow

Forever a pariah to you

Would you stop and wait for me?

If I was in the pouring rain
