a coin flip would be more honest

You wear two faces
and they look the same
I never know which one
I'll get today

Sorry is a five letter word
that holds no meaning
when yesterday's mistakes
repeat themselves
like a glitch in the code
of our lives
I haven't figured out
how to rewrite
when you're the silent saboteur
of our better tomorrow

I don't know how to look back
without flinching
I'm covered in scars you can't see
and can't undo

Don't ask me to forget
I don't know how

You wear two faces
and they look the same
I never know which one I'll get

I can't trust the good one
you wear today
