Altering a Memory

If I retreat

do I have the safety you

held in your hands?

Get away, build my new hopes up

And I just can't believe

I'm altering memories

So I'll never know

What was real

When you're grieving night and day

Regret will pave the way

So pave my way

All alone I'll hold my shame

Wrapped in our bedsheets

In this house,

In this coffin built by all the reasons why

I'll erase our names

So I'll never know

What I feel

Alone and far away

Alone and full of shame

When you're grieving night and day

Regret will pave the way
