Sorry

[Chorus]
No one should be able to own me, but they do
Learn who you can trust before truth turns to dust
We do what we must to survive, is that a crime?
Compassion flees from our often unworthy souls
We try and reclaim it, but it knows us better than that
I do what I can, hating it every step of the way
So when I say I’m sorry, I mean it

Drowning in your eyes, where’s the disguise you wanted?
I know your smiling outside, screaming inside but why are you still haunted?
Let me in, let me know, allow me to show you that not everyone wants to hurt you
You don’t have to be alone forever, take a chance, it’s now or never, don’t go

I’m sorry it turned out like this, I tried my best, I didn’t want to hurt you like the rest
Give me another chance, I’m undeserving of your forgiveness , I tried, but failed the test
One thing you need to grasp, we’re all only human, we don’t trap you intentionally
The lesson is hard, when we don’t meet your mark you think we didn’t try, I did, I’m still sorry

Suffocated by your smile not embraced by your eyes, why can’t we smile together, are you sure?
To laugh and giggle like before, you hold to key to what’s in store, only you can open the door
How many times can you hear I’m sorry before relenting, or will you never trust what we had?
Are we now resigned to being strangers, no comfort for either of us, the mess to be left, are you glad?

[Chorus]

I’m sorry I can’t be the perfect friend to you, all I can offer is all that I am, if that not good enough
Then you don’t deserve my efforts, I’ve tried and failed to explain, I’m here if you want talk it through
But don’t expect me to keep trying forever, I’ve done that too often before, now you know the score
I’ll leave you to your misery, I gave back all you gave me, saved you the trouble of abhorring me more

Choking now on your hate, your pity replaced with disdain, but is it promptly crumbling?
Giving me another chance to let you down, the real possibility, but the knowledge humbling
You can forgive, but can you forget what has happened, let the past be replaced with a hopeful future
Both stronger than before knowing what to avoid this time, the cure to this all was keeping pure

[Bridge]
I’m sorry
Why that one phrase too oft escapes my tongue, I can’t explain
It’s supposed to help erase the pain
But it’s used to abuse the weaknesses I hid
Don’t use my words against me
Or I might not speak at all
