Apologies - Grace Potter

Yesterday he said my eyes
Were fading fast away
I said well what do you expect
You asked me not to stay and if it had all been for the best
I wouldn't feel this way
And he said
Oh he said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies
My love is like a blanket
That gets a little bit too warm sometimes
I wanna wrap somebody in it
Who can hold me in his arms
Cause when it got a little too hot in there
He was always stepping out for air and he froze
Oh he froze
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies
Yesterday he looked at me
With a tear in his eye and said
I'll always tell you you're my friend
I hope i don't have to lie
Cause it's clear you love another man
I said you're damn rightAnd he said
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
That i didn't figure it out before
And now it's too late for a soliloquy
It's way too late for dignityIt's time for apologies

Play-A-Day (Day 8)

Lights up on a kitchen setting where a man is cooking eggs and bacon and other breakfast foods. He has a cheery look to him and is eager in anticipation. He is taking joy in what he is doing and talks to himself while he does it.

Man
[Cheery] She'll love this. Ok when she gets here go right over to her and kiss and make sure everything is ok. Ok you can do this. You're not going to let this fail

A woman a few moments later enters and barely even looks at the man. The man then moves over to her swiftly and moves into to kiss her but she moves away.

Woman
I'm sorry. Not right now...

Man
Oh uhmm ok. Look I made you breakfast. Your favorite

Man goes over and puts some on a plate for her.

Woman
[Before he finishes] No that's ok I ate already

The man then without missing a beat slams the plate to the ground and it shatters

Man
What the hell is going on!? Last night you tell me things arn't running that great and I work my ass off preparing all this and I try to be romantic for you. And what do you do! This, you just completely blow it off. [Calming down] ugh...I'm sorry. [Moving over to sit next to her] What is going on. Whatever it is, we can work it out. I promise. I'd do anything for you and you know that. I love you

Woman
I've been seeing someone else

Lights fade
