Lyrics Guilt - Imperative Reaction

Guilt

You never cared
You never tried
To see the one you took for granted
The one you left alone
To move on to the other things
Not a day not an hour could be spared
There’s always tomorrow
Or maybe next time maybe next year would be better
I’m sure he knows how much you care
It’s just so far and you’re so tired
If there were only more hours in the day…
Now you stand
As the guilt holds on
It’s not as easy now
To let go of what you ignored
And the time you should have given
But death put an end
To the waiting that you never knew
The pain, the fear that’s over now
Still you know
The blame falls on you
It wasn’t worth it to try any harder
And now you try to walk away
There was nothing you could do
You gave everything you had
But underneath the veil you hold
Lies the truth you cannot face
You failed the one who loved you
All the next times all the next years never happened
I’m sure he knows how much you care
It’s just so hard and I’m so tired
If there were only more hours in the day…
And as we look into the past
There’s no mention of the truth
The guilty scars all covered up
Lying safely out of sight allowing us to lie again
And move on to the other things
Time will let these things slip by
Through the doors into the void and life continues on
But I have never felt so empty so rotten I’ve become
I’m sorry I let you down
