Doses by The Firelight Opera

I’m sorry for not singing
But the thing is, I was bleeding
That morning, I lost all meaning
And the truth is, I was missing

I am hopeless, soulless and boxed
I’d love to wipe the smile right of my face

I’m so sorry
And I hope you can hear me
I’m so sorry
I will make it up to you somehow
I’m so sorry
And I hope you forgive me

I’m so sorry for not performing
But these feelings, they’re not fleeting
Still morning, shouldering the burden
The rising pressure, I held it together

But I am folding, tired and lost
I’d love to knock the head clean off my neck

It hits me in doses
How did I get this far?
I’m chasing the songs you sang to me on your guitar
From where I stand, I hope you’re sitting comfortably
And know

I’m so sorry
And I hope you can hear me
I’m so sorry
I will make it up to you somehow
I’m so sorry
And I hope you forgive me

It hits me in doses
How did I get this far?
I still hear the songs you sang to me on your guitar
For what it’s worth, it gets me uncontrollably
And from where I stand, I hope you’re sitting comfortably
In your kingdom, I hope you think of me
And know

I thank you for the nights we cried with laughter till we almost died, for showing me the path to life
And if you hear the songs I write, I hope they fill your soul with pride and let you know you’re on my mind
It hurt to hold your head to mine, I hope I did enough and find you waiting on the other side
