lyrics

3 A.M. and wide awake,
I wait for day to break,
Left alone with one mistake.

With all the guilt I'd love to share,
To show you it's still there,
But it's far too late to care.

I never meant to cause these scars.
I never dreamt you’d have to carry them this far.
I never thought it would be I
Who made mistakes too hideous for time to ever rectify,
And you’re stuck with them for life.

What have I done?
Oh God, how could I do this?
What will become
Of lives that I have ruined?

Not a chance that time will save,
These scars will never fade,
Still as sharp as when first made.

I think of things you'll never do,
Ambitions you once knew,
Crushed by all I've done to you.

I never questioned how I’d live
I never guessed I’d have to pray you’d not forgive.
I never knew how much I’d hate
I’d hate myself for miseries I never wanted to create,
And of course, I’m years too late.

But worst of all, on nights like this,
The guilt weighs on my mind,
And in the morning I'll forget,
And carry on just fine.
