| Another Apology |
| The sound in my ears Was the door slamming tight Sealing my fate That September night I'd wronged him in ways He can't understand It was what was to be Though not what I planned He wanted to leave So I let him quit Even though it hurt more That I will ever admit Jumped in too deep and too fast Afraid of all the signs So I broke his fragile heart Before he could break mine We both took a chance With full knowledge of pain If things didn't work The past we couldn't regain I made an exception To the rules I live by Thinking if nothing else I had to give it a try It's true you never know What you have until it leaves How could I be so stupid So young and so naive Individually, we were special But the closer that we grew We found answers in each other You had me and I had you Now living my life How things are with you gone All I want is the past But you've already moved on I knew you couldn't wait For me to grow and see That pushing you away Was me trying to flee I always said I'd kill the girl Who dared to have the nerve To cause you any kind of pain I knew you didn't deserve I never thought I'd be the one Who would betray more Than all the others after me And all the ones before I'm so very sorry For the mistakes that I have made They cost us so much And I know that we have paid I will always miss you And I will always care I've been wanting to tell you for so long I just didn't dare Afraid of the question What if it's really the end After more than the decade We are no longer friends What if you can't forgive me For doing everything wrong I don't think I could take that I'm just not that strong If all good things come to an end And wonders never cease I guess I'll run along now And let you live in peace. |
