how could i do to you
what i promised not to do
how could i have done
what i should not have become
look at me i lied
even though i tried
now i lie awake
'cause it is your heart i break

now the pain's inside
i have no place to hide
torn away my pride
i have lost my bride
you're away from me
some place i cannot be
forbidden i can't go
to sanctify my soul

so feel my sorrow
i am hollow
feel my pain
like acid rain on me
forgive my hatred
you can do no wrong
i hurt you cruelly
but my guilt is strong

her love is shallow
buried in a cloud
but with her i do know
my hatred is allowed
you were one to whisper
hide behind your eyes
wore a smile on your face
while your spirit cries

sorrow is hollow
like acid rain on me

love is cut so sorely
by the blink of eye
now my spirit poorly
it has begun to cry
so just take a minute
so you can hear me say
we should have salvaged something
'cause now it's faded away
