"One Week"
“

It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry."
Five days since you laughed at me, saying
"Get back together, come back and see me."
Three days since the living room,
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you.
Yesterday, you'd forgiven me,
But it'll still be two days 'til I say I'm sorry.
