It's hard to say you're sorry When you're alone In the dark Terrified that the suffocating Blanket will snatch up the words Before they roll off your tongue. And then, of course, these humble words To be said on a prince's tongue, Are lost. Swallowed into the blackness, Everything you thought you knew Before you opened your mouth Goes with them. I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

So right "It's hard to say you're sorry When you're alone In the dark" I've been trying to tell someone that for ages..... |
