Mistakes Unerased

Stuck in the middle
But it's not like I know which way to push
Which side is my best bet
The side that minimizes how much it hurts

So selfish in my sorrow
So selfish with regrets
Though I know I'll see you tomorrow
I wonder if you'll see me as well

There's a cold, dim light shining now
Reflecting my faults
Exposing my thoughts, somehow

I'm stuck in the middle
But I don't know which way to push
Which side is my best bet
That minimizes how much it hurts

Mistakes unerased are breeding grounds
They serve no purpose, no place
But now they're all around

So close, so close
I almost spill them all out
The words I over-swallowed
Still safer than shooting about

I know you catch on to my signals
My devices, and I know you'll move on
From subsequent enticements
I know of no outlet
For these images of divinement

So selfish in my sorrow
So selfish in regret
I'm stuck in the middle
There's still no hope yet
