So sorry

I can't defend every shameful mention of me
It takes a long time searching before you conceive
that every moment and each selection, seperate
your reputation from what you think others perceive

Who am I to decide the intent
and every motivation behind an event
I see through tainted vision
When I can't even read myself

So sorry I'm the one waving scarlet flags overhead
declaring this unstable ground
So sorry I'm the one unafraid of breaking the news
So sorry I'm the only one

When confrontation feels like posing a threat
and when you're miles from making a regiment
You're getting nowhere, you might consider moving on
cause perseverance doesn't always mean overcome

Why try to hide the obvious
You'll never reach success from solemness
I've set the standards lower
I've managed to restore my past
