Portrait of an apology

Look what Ive done, this picture Ive painted
It looks like my heart, or what still remains
Convinced of the weight, your interpretations
Are not what I see, I wish they could be
I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter

Can you stay for a while, try to imagine this
Could you be for a while, I cant remember it
Could you fall for a while, I cant escape from this

Ill try to explain, the way that the frame
Doesnt quite fit the image, or surround the edge
It stands on display, what do you see?
Behold all the new grey, whats become of the old me
I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter

Can you stay for a while, try to imagine this
Could you be for a while, I cant remember it
Could you fall for a while, I cant escape from this

Calling, crying, ashamed of what I am not
Really failing, falling into this cage
And I cant escape, I cant escape
Look what Ive done, this picture Ive painted
Doesnt quite fit,or surround the edge
I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter

Can you stay for a while, try to imagine this
Could you be for a while, I cant remember it
Could you fall for a while, I cant escape from this
I cant escape, I cant escape, I cant escape
