Blood, error, failure, love: they all mean the same thing, don't they?

All the while, fighting for your way in the dark
Swerving across roads, light is never a spark
Once, I thought time is never still
But, standing here finally made it more real
The traces of love's lost, why am I finding it here
Then again, it isn't like I have given you my ear
We didn't want to be in this place or anywhere near
Though our fate is never the same, we're right to fear
I try to see how your blood meant something
Finding peace, never would I try forgetting
Until I know why you fell on this edge, enticing
I will lay in your memories and start red writing

The beauty of sudden earsplitting terror
Is surely enough to send you minutes before
So that you could see your absolute error
The guilt of finding mistakes you couldn't take back anymore
And I'm feeling the pain of love's lost and harmony tossed
Eventually, I'll find no less than a gram of happiness cost
What color is it when you see you're wrong
Was it red or another color that strong?
One thing I learned is that time is fleeting
True thing I realized is that love is deceiving
The only time I regret is when I didn't see your reasoning
Of why I should let you go and start red writing

Failing, falling, grasping for air
What more could I give than happiness fair
I failed, I am finally admitting it out loud
I tried but I didn't have the right to be proud
How could I live with the memories of turning back
Whenever I walk, I see sour times and enough slack
Piling up in heaps are guilt in crashing waves
Beating myself up for not fighting the change
And now that you've gone, I see the rising red in the sun
Back when you were here, I see love setting on the run

Failure is what everyone does best
And maybe red writing will take care of the rest
Love is patient, love is kind, so they say
The longing to see the rays of the brighter day
But what is it called when it was never this way
Was it even the same now that we know feelings won't stay?
We could have been and we could have not
What matters is that we have the right to be distraught
Love is a grave, a trap to lure you in
And no amount of red writing can save your skin
Love is your loss, making you lose yourself
And it eats your soul until nothing is left
Under the fading moonlight, abiding in the view
Blood, error, failure, love—what do they mean to you?

Failure is what everyone does bestAnd maybe red writing will take care of the restLove is patient, love is kind, so they sayThe longing to see the rays of the brighter dayBut what is it called when it was never this wayWas it even the same now tha...
