Sins Of The Others
 

You were the tortured soul
that coudn't let go
you never really healed
your wounds you concealed
hidden so well under the skin
to love me is what you pretend
as the sins of those others
are revisited upon the love of another
and how willing I was to pay the cost
for the lovers that left you lost
for those who never cared
and your heart wasn't spared
they should be here to atone
at them cast your stone
but someone had to be punished
so it was my love you diminished
the tears have dried from my eyes
I've swallowed the pain and silenced my cries
I can now see the scars you left behind
so well hidden from those that are blind
heartache is a cycle that continues on
a new love to inflict these wounds upon
we all get the chance to feel
that inside which does not heal
for the sins of the others
are always revisited upon the
love of another
