Damage

It's 10 in the morning,

when you called,

The girl in bed,

Picked the call up,

I know,

I could have lied,

but the damage was done,

When I look back,

at the heartache I'd caused,

I wished I'd said no,

to the temptation,

And the pain,

I put you through,

The girl that I cheated with,

she wasn't worth it,

A one night stand,

someone you knew,

She led me by the hand,

to the bedroom,

I should have turned around,

but lust took control,

It's a decision I ain't proud of,

If I could turn the clock back,

I would have,

The heartache I caused,

I ain't proud of,

I know I broke your heart,

I should have known from the start,

The temptation & lust,

I could not resist,

I should have known,

it would destroy us,

Now those tables have turned,

my fingers are burned,

I know how you felt,

To be hurt,

Crushed,

I never thought,

I would do this to us,

If I could turn back the clock,

I would in a heartbeat,

Repair the damage I caused,

I'd kneel at your feet,

That one night of lust,

Turned love in to dust.
