I took a stupid step and lied
To cover up this lapse
The tunnel of suspicious dark
That hovers o’er my time

I did not mean to slap you hard
I never thought I could
I was just running out words
To make up for my wrong

I am too much so impulsive
Though it’s not an excuse
I just don’t want to loose the love
I took my time to build

I’ve always regretted it much
Cos it has cost me so
The trust I thought I had instilled
I have to build again

Though I don’t mind to try again
But it all lies with you
Please do not take this chance from me
For it will kill me flat

I don’t deserve your loving arms
But do not cast me out
Oh, whence do you think I should go?
And live without you there!
