Nightmares

I get the last word only because
I write on the walls in my head
Maybe some things are better unsaid

Can I forgive if I forget
All my mistakes and my regrets
If all of this is for the best?

I've been singing that song again
Another ballad that won't make a mess
It's been giving me nightmares again
And they don't end
I've been singing along again
Another poem designed for revenge
Now I'm living the nightmare again
And it won't end

Pretty the actor, canon and laughter
I know I waited too long
I played so dumb I was under the thumb
A conclusion far too foregone

Can I forgive if I forget
All my mistakes and my regrets
If all of this is for the best?

I've been singing that song again
Another ballad that won't make a mess
It's been giving me nightmares again
And they don't end
I've been singing along again
Another poem designed for revenge
Now I'm living the nightmare again
And it won't end

For, for
Forgiving
For, for
Forgetting
For, for
Forgiving
For, for
Forgetting

Can I forgive if I forget
All my mistakes and my regrets
If all of this is for the best?

I've been singing that song again
Another ballad that won't make a mess
It's been giving me nightmares again
And they don't end
I've been singing along again
Another poem designed for revenge
Now I'm living the nightmare again
And it won't end
