I made her this way
The rude remarks and repetitive swearing
Her usual facade of
Not caring, no apologies
And it is my fault

Her heart has frozen over
A fear for a while
But I know there has to be a reason
There is a fear she also has
And that is my fault

I wish I could go back
But doesn't everyone?
Erase my many selfish mistakes
Take back my coldness
Because it is my fault

I have realized the reason now
For I used to be he cold-hearted one
She looked up to me and watched carefully
And that is exactly why
It is all my fault
