Don't Take It Personally

A conversation I have dread for a week
A certain situation where I stutter my speech
Rehearsing from point form so I don't forget what to say
This was only decided yesterday
You're like a friend
You're like family
Don't take it personally
It was not my intention to hurt your feelings
Don't take it personally
It wasn't how it was meant to be
Pleasant sounds they were far from coming round
And your heart is sure to burn from what
I am laying down
And what makes it sour in this dark dark hour
