For this one, I actually got the help of a rhyming dictionary. I prefer not to rhyme, which is good enough reason to do so.
後悔しない
June 15, 2007
I think I’m running out of steam
I think I’m running out of inspiration
It turns out harder than it seems
I wasn’t ready for the complications
I think I’m trying to pretend
Like there was never any absolution
Or any solace to extend
In lieu of handing out a contribution
You said I could repay what was lost
I knew there would be more to the cost
I don’t want thanks, I don’t want help
I don’t want your acknowledgment
I don’t need faith, I don’t need pride
I just want nothing to repent
I know I’m wasting all my time
On trying hard to quell this indignation
I know there wasn’t any crime
And I refuse to make an accusation
You think I’m trying to pretend
Like there could never be a resolution
Or any reason to extend
A courtesy or any absolution
I said I would repay what was lost
You knew there would be more to the cost
I don’t want aid, I don’t want hope
I don’t want your acknowledgment
I don’t need love, I don’t need pride
I just want nothing to repent
I don’t want thanks, I don’t want help
I don’t want your acknowledgment
I don’t need truth, I don’t need pride
I just want nothing to repent
