I Tried to Go Outside

Folder: 
Stuff that sucks.

Verse 1

There's a personality

Wrought with night and day extremes

It fulfills my fantasy

But only half the time it seems  



Always thought I gave so much

Asked so little in return

Just your lovely torturous touch

And some genuine concern



Laid my heart out on the floor

Feelings let themselves unfurl

With a humble heart implored

For admission to your world



Chorus

I know I'm sorry for you

Why can't you be sorry too?

Not for me but what you did

What you did was unforgivable

And yet here I am again

Asking you to take me back

Cause I never let you go

Every time I try to let you slip away

You hold on, you hold on.





Verse 2

Now I have my own extremes

Different people at those times

Spending my time in my dreams

You rose to become sublime

You look as if you're above

Edaphonic self-pity

You act in ways undreamt of

And then you blame it on me

I'm your little masochist

Without me you'd be so bored

All you need is to insist

And your toy will make accord



Chorus

I know I'm sorry for you

Why can't you be sorry too?

Not for me but what you did

What you did was unforgivable

And yet here I am again

Asking you to take me back

Cause I never let you go

Every time I try to let you slip away

You hold on, you hold on.  



Verse 3

Then you break it off again

And again I am surprised

Trying to hold it within

Violins start their reprise



Replaying the memories

All the happy times though few

Running through the minor keys

With nothing to resolve to



Now you say you're gone for good

Nothing could hurt more than this

Not that I don't think you would

But it seems this is no trick



Pre-Bridge (I guess I can call it that...)

I've been alone for such a long time

Since you left, in fact before that

I have been alone such a long time

You left me long before you told me



Bridge

I spend all my time with you

Though you'll have nothing to do with me

Didn't want to see you go

No matter how badly you'd hurt me

Never want to see you go

No matter how badly you'll hurt me



Chorus

I know I'm sorry for you

Why can't you be sorry too?

Not for me but what you did

What you did was unforgivable

And yet here I am again

Asking you to take me back

Cause I never let you go

Every time I try to let you slip away

You hold on, you hold on.
