Flail

I can't say there is much
in life that I regret
Yet it seems like there's
so much I'm trying to forget
Don't believe in guilt
Yet it haunts me just the same
Hold onto my pride
still I can't escape the shame
It seems like we spend
our lives trying to create
the childhood we feel
we never had or don't appreciate
Opened up my heart
to set you free
Holding on to you is
burning the inside of me
Still I hold on to love
In the hope of gladness
Still I hold onto love
though it only brings me madness
Somehow I have the faith
to believe
somehow without deserving
I receive
