please forgive me
for the things i dont say
i ache to let the words free
but my jaw just refuses to move.
please forgive me
for the things i dont do
there's so much i want to ask
i just dont know how to
maybe the words are lost
but will i act too soon?
do i know how where to stop
do i even know you?

no.

so, this doesnt quite get the message through.
i want something,
and i want it from you.
i'm just afraid to progress,
because it could be a mess,
and if i take a risk
i just set myself to fail.
so, please forgive my reluctance,
i want you more than you will ever know,
i take things too fast
so i try to take things slow
and soon,
i'll wind up never getting anywhere,
and i leave myself in the dust
with my own fear.

but fuck that, i give up.
no more will i let myself feel like this
i'm tired of being stopped
by my own cautiousness
so, now you must forgive me
if i fuck up so bad
but, that's how it will be
and no regrets will come.
