I couldn't stand the taste, bitter and sour
rotting out my very soul on every lick.
I couldn't hear it, the bell tolling the final hour
of this wretched existence, tick tock tick.

I couldn't sense it in the wind
that blows on, destroying all in it's course.
I couldn't accept that I would never mend
nothing could fix it, no use to use force.

I missed it somewhere along the way
what you lost, on whatever day that was,
when I stopped caring, quit the fray,
destroyed a precious thing called love.

No matter how much I get burned
I never can quite seem to learn
Thank you for a lesson learned one more time.
Maybe this once, I will keep it in mind.
