Analysis of One step off the ground
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I'm sorry for my past
I hope the hurt will not last
I was wrong to think
I could hold a candle up to your heart
I'm sorry for the pain of doubt
That pushes me and others closer to the cliff edge
I was wrong to curse and to clout
I wish this darkness would come out
I'm sorry I didn't pray
Each and every single day
And as soon as I did I took that prayer away
I'm sorry I let my patience stir
and my thoughts exploded every care
until I was left with a soul left bare
