Thivya : Words Don't Mean A Thing

Words Don't Mean A Thing

(non-edited version)

To : Mummy & Papa.

I didn't mean it, 

Those things I might have said or did.
I never meant it, 

I swear I never did. 

I said I'm sorry,

Though it meant nothing to them.

I'm really sorry, 

I swear I really am. 

But "words don't mean a thing", they said,

Until real actions are whole-heatedly made. 

"I'm trying really hard," I said,

And its ringing in my head. 

So I gave up trying to apologize, 

As they said, my words don't mean a thing.
And they looked me directly in the eyes and said, 

"Action is the thing".

And since that very day, that certain day,

I stared to wonder then I realized. 

What am I doing, night and day,

I don't want to ruin their lives. 

To cover up all my wrong-doings and lies,

How I use to argue and pretend. 

But I've changed for the better in life,

And I'll keep my promise to them until the very end.
