forgive me for looking down
forgive me for not looking up
forgive me for looking away
forgive me for what I'm about to say
you took all those I loved away
leaving those I learned to hate
I can't stand the sight of
those I'm supposed to love
is it in my genes to be so mean
when I feel so nice inside
no one can tell me why it's so
it's so easy for me to let go
when all I want to do is hold on
to what has let go long ago
