I'm so sorry

Please forgive me

For knowing that I'm wrong but insisting I'm right

For wanting everything to be either black or white

For wallowing in self-pity, confessing all my sins

For studying my thoughts till my head caves in

For all the things I've said but regret so much now

For all the things I should have said but I couldn't somehow

For all the times I've meant them

And I've known them for so long

But I still get endings wrong



I'm so sorry

Please forgive me



For trying to be all things to all men

For shelving my objectives time and time again

For looking for perfection in everything I do

When really I need only look as far as you

For demanding to be loved by someone who

Then dispatching quietly over a pint of beer

Well yeah, I did it without malice

And I did it without shame

But I did it just the same



I'm so sorry

Please forgive me



For coming home from work in the middle of the night

For waking you up with the bathroom light

For wanting to touch you with these cold cold hands

For wanting to have you just because I can

For always running from an argument

When I ought to stand and fight

For suppressing my emotions

'cause I'm too goddamn polite

and then for thinking that by simply saying sorry

I could suddenly make everything alright



I'm so sorry please forgive me...

I'm so sorry please forgive me...
