I keep looking into myself with critical eyes
I don’t always like what I see
The older I get, the more I realise
I don’t really know anything at all
And I am still so far from
The human I want to be
I never want to hurt anyone intentionally
I finally reached the point where I don’t constantly hurt myself
But I don’t always act or speak rationally
And people walk around with scars I gave them
And I can’t always reach out and save them
From what I should know better than to do
And now I’m scared that, scared that..
One of those people, could be you
What can I say, but sorry
But sorry doesn’t work
No, sorry doesn’t work
When you reach a certain level
Of being hurt
I should know, I should know
I never treat people like games
I don’t trick, I don’t play
But I have too many words in my arsenal
And some of them I should never say
I am too old, to be excused
I hold myself accountable for my mistakes
But some of them don’t just hurt myself
And other people’s pain is something you just can’t erase
What can I say, but sorry
But sorry doesn’t work
No, sorry doesn’t work
When you reach a certain level
Of being, being hurt
And I should, I should know!
I’ve bled from wounds and I have cried myself to sleep
I have been cut off from people I really wanted to keep
I have been dumped, as a lover, as a friend
And I know I will experience it again
But I also sometimes cut into someone elses skin
And I start things I should know better than to begin
Family, love affairs, friends..
I’m not made for «forever», it seems
I’m just made for bitter ends
So what can I say, but sorry
But sorry just don’t work
No sorry doesn’t work
When you reach a certain level
Of being, being hurt
I should know, and I do
And I am sorry if I hurt you
But sorry doesn’t work
No, sorry just don’t work
When you reach a certain level
Of being, being hurt..
