Heal Quote by Of Mice&Men
“A cut cannot heal, unless you leave it alone. I'll open mine daily, leaving bones exposed. If I say I wouldn't be hostile, could you say you would do the same? If we're all made just a little bit broken, tell me who is to blame? tell me who is to blame? Standing on ashes from the fires you've made, burning your bridges just to save your face. Wounds of regret.”
