Elizabeth Sheaffer - An Apologize Simply Won't Cut It This Time lyrics

And just when I thought the tears had stopped they resurface again, like an old love you can't get rid of. How is it that you can taste perfection once; have it, hold it close to you, and throw it all away in a day? Ah, what a tragic day is upon us. For today is the beginning of the rest of my life, And the rest of my life will be bleak. All because I never truly recognized That I had what I needed all along, right beside me, begging for my happiness. And all I could give perfection was grief. Ashes to ashes And dust to dust I threw love away For one night of lust. I'm paying the price now with my tears and regrets. And wondering if I'm meant to be happy at all... But I was once, wasn't I? Because I tasted perfection back then, And I knew it was oh so very real. But I threw it all away like garbage. Ashes to ashes And dust to dust I drove love away With one night of lust. The tears will just keep flowing, Old wounds opening up Every time your face comes before my eyes As I remember what we shared... The best times of my life... And how I drove you away. It's my fault.
