Analysis of Mistake



I've brought this to myself
A lot of endless sadness
I lost control of who I was
I was in unknown madness

My irreplaceable mistake
Made both our hearts break
I know you will never forgive me
About what I said and did

You didn't understand that I loved you
Though my actions were all just bad
I'll forever be scarred for my unforgiveable wrong

I know you dispise and hate me sometimes
But I will do anything, honestly
Even leave my past behind
Please accept my apology
So we can start our relationship again
