A Thousand And One

A Thousand And One
How have you been? How would I know?
It’s been a while since we were close.
You’ve taken your leave: it’s the easy way out.
Next time can we stop it tumbling down?
This is how we broke.
This is how we broke.

I always knew when I was wrong, but I never said sorry.
Now I’d say it a thousand and one…
I always hoped that I could change, try and write a different story,
But I made all the same mistakes…
Where have you been? How have you grown?
The way I behaved, I knew all along.
Eventually, you’re beginning to shout.
You’re breathing it in, trying hard not to spit it out.
But this is how we broke.
This is how we broke.
If you had the chance again, would you let me
Show you what I’ve lost?
I’ve shed the burden of memory
This time, the path ahead can be yours and mine.
I hope we’re walking side by side.
I always knew when I was wrong, and I should have said sorry.
Now I will say whatever you want.
I always hoped to turn the page, and start a brand new story,
Erase the mistakes and make the change.
This is how we grow.
This is how we grow.
