Penance

by Heavenly Beat

on John (2017)

confirming suspicions
you laid out the
ways that i'm
awful to you

reliving your tears
one night
I swore that I'd start
to do better by you

like renounce nostalgia
no more songs about blank
and how they suck me right

I'll resist the vulgar
and act like
a human from here out

cause

I see your let down
I can feel your let down

we can never go back
to the place were
the trust was ours
yet to be broken

when I see you like that
and stop denying facts
the fault was mine

It's gunna get better
in time

appealing your anger
with a promise that
I could do better for you

penance olympics
ashamed that I wouldn't
do better by you

like surrender to patience
when you act out of spite
because I fucked your life

or forsake my temper
gag on the truth
another night cause

i wanna be good
and want you to see that

my abuse of your trust
is something I regret, but

baby please understand
i'm a bad man

reward your love
with pain and anger

baby please understand
i'm a bad man

I'm not good for love
or good for no one
