Portrait of an apology

Look what I´ve done
This picture I´ve painted
It looks like my heart
Or what still remains
Convinced of the weight
Your interpretations
Are not what I see
I wish they could be
I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter
Can you stay for a while
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
I can´t remember it
Could you fall for a while
I can´t escape from this
I´ll try to explain
The way that the frame
Doesn´t quite fit the image
Or surround the edge
It stands on display
What do you see?
Behold all the new grey
What´s become of the old me
I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter
Can you stay for a while
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
I can´t remember it
Could you fall for a while
I can´t escape from this
Calling, crying, ashamed of what I am not
Really failing, falling into this cage and I can´t escape
I can´t escape
Look what I´ve done
This picture I´ve painted
Doesn´t quite fit
Or surround the edge
I remember it much redder
Can you stay for a while
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
I can´t remember it
Could you fall for a while
I can´t escape from this
I can´t escape, I can´t escape, I can´t escape
This picture I´ve painted
It looks like my heart
Or what still remains
Convinced of the weight
Your interpretations
Are not what I see
I wish they could be
I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter
Can you stay for a while
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
I can´t remember it
Could you fall for a while
I can´t escape from this
I´ll try to explain
The way that the frame
Doesn´t quite fit the image
Or surround the edge
It stands on display
What do you see?
Behold all the new grey
What´s become of the old me
I remember it much redder
I remember it much brighter
Can you stay for a while
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
I can´t remember it
Could you fall for a while
I can´t escape from this
Calling, crying, ashamed of what I am not
Really failing, falling into this cage and I can´t escape
I can´t escape
Look what I´ve done
This picture I´ve painted
Doesn´t quite fit
Or surround the edge
I remember it much redder
Can you stay for a while
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
I can´t remember it
Could you fall for a while
I can´t escape from this
I can´t escape, I can´t escape, I can´t escape
