The Greatest Night

It happened on the greatest night
I still can feel the trembling
The first time someone listened to my words
I felt my body shivering
I couldn't understand the force
The impact you would have on everything

The air around me staggers and
Envelopes me in promises
The expectations i had as a child
I'm sorry if i'm failing you
I'm sorry if you feel that way
Sometimes we just regret what makes us strong

The time we spend alone is all
The only thing we have for keeps
I tell myself it's different
But it's not
My sadness is a hopeless child
That waits for me to nurture her
To tell her that i need her after all
