A Stain To Never Fade

you'll always be to me
a stain to never fade
the worst mistake i've made

a blemish on an otherwise detestable career
a studied insincere

but i'll always be to you
a record overplayed
the rain on your parade

will you never look at me
and see beautiful again
i would i were the same

but i look for always...

i don't want to understand
to make it go away
or hush myself when i just want to say
will you never be to me
a surface kind of friend
i do believe that this is not the end

it's not the end

i'll always be to you
a stain to never fade
the worst mistake you've made

an episode to file under "never try again"
i would i were the same

but i want to be your adrenaline
the redness across your chest
oh lover i confess

though you'll always be to me
a stain to never fade
i'd do it all again

because i look for always...

and still i stand with the persistence of an idiot
still i stand
will i say....

hell, i do believe that this is not the
end
