Internal

Your wounds were never the visible kind
But that doesn't mean that everything was all right
Your life had trials of it's own, even if they don't show
I can't pretend and say that I understand
But I'm trying to let you walk away and feel like the bigger man

I never meant to hurt you or bring you down
But this is a small town, and ones neighbor is the enemy
I know that on the inside, you're hurt and bleeding
But I'll try yeah, I'll try, to stop hurting, you now

You were never one of those loud types
Never the life of the party, always so soft spoken, so proud
Of all the things you did even if no one noticed you
But come on, don't tell me you don't get tired of the shadows
Don't tell me you're not through with playing the fool

I never meant to hurt you or bring you down
But this is a small town, and ones neighbor is the enemy
I know that on the inside, you're hurt and bleeding
But I'll try yeah, I'll try, to stop hurting, you now

Can I make amends for the damage I've done
Can you make up for something if you already won
And cast down all who had stood in your way
Even if they never deserved the fate you gave

Can I make amends for the damage I've caused
Stare at the wounds I've inflicted, wrapped in gauze
Feeling like a mad man who lives by no laws
I guess it's time to admit to such flaws

I never meant to hurt you or bring you down
(Bring you down)
But this is a small town, and ones neighbor is the enemy
(The enemy)
I know that on the inside, you're hurt and bleeding
(Bleeding)
But I'll try yeah, I'll try, I'm gonna try, do my best

To stop hurting you now

Edited to be finished. Still questioning the ending.

"Can I make amends for the damage I've done

I like this, but it doesn't feel finished.
Like... I really love that last verse. But I feel like there should be more.
Either way, I really enjoyed it.

There is such a lot of emotion in your writing! I think it is very well written. I always write as it flows and rarely edit things, I believe that is the way to create the most beautiful pieces and this is just proof of that theory.
