Playground~ Some things cant be forgiven-

by Weeping Wolf   Nov 18, 2005


Today I went back to the old playground
where memories used to happen...
but no more.

I try to avoid the thoughts that bring tears
but there are just too many and its overwhelming
When i look at the old hand ball wall
or the swings, climbing bars and tennis courts
I see the people that used to stand there so happy.

Now it seems we've all separated into sadder days
You wrote to me today saying you were sorry
But some things can't be forgiven.

What ever happened to times we cherished?
What ever happened to times of innocence?
Now every move we make is wrong
Every thing we say is regretful
And everything we do is even worse.

Memories, memories, drown my mind
I still see you running around
with me on that playground

You said you still liked me today
A smile with the greatest of happiness
touched my lips with a little secret
Knowing you haven't yet forgotten either
I wish i could have said i liked you too
But my secrets will be hidden until the time
When our paths...they will meet again
I don't know how, i don't know where
But i still hope, i still care

You are banished
I am scared and lost
how can our relationships be
If my friends hate u n your friends hate me.

I'm so sorry i hurt you today
I hope you saw the look on my face
especially when I said i was sorry
But some things can't be forgiven.

Now i lay against the playground fence
because my feet can no longer support my tears
I rattle the chain link fence in desperation
but its locked, along with all my memories
I slide to the ground into the puddle of tears
Wishing we could go back without shame here
We never even got to write our names
in the sacred oak trees
like all the other lovers do
will we ever get to?

look at this playground
can you still remember
will you ever forget?

I wish one day i could take you back
back to where all these memories were created
But how can that ever be
if now u never even notice me.

All the mistakes you made
all the things i regret
why did you go too far?
Why didn't i stop you?
I hope it will be ok in the end
maybe the days will help us forget

Its a full moon tonight
my time for memories
my time for crying
I howl to the heavens
weeping such a loss
a song calls to my lips
and i stand there alone
and start to sing
"New American Classic"
by taking back Sunday

the words float straight out
I stare out at the place
where we all used to play
the old playground
when we had our golden days
this song...just too sad
as its running through my head
the tears come faster then ever
and I..I can't stop them anymore
Been holding them back all day
this day of our ruin
we started all happy
how did it end so badly?

I sing it all the way through
but still u do not come
I never expected you too
the last line, the last tear
"and theres one thing I can do nothing...
one thing i can do nothing about..."

I'm sorry i hurt you
Your sorry you hurt her
but its so hard living
and some things can't be forgiven...
