These words are getting old
Wasted thoughts that pass through my mind
Simpler with the passing of time
They once seemed so hard to say
Whispered words in the end
Now a second thought
Maybe a first, but the meaning isn't the same
Not anymore
I want to say them
Scream it at the top of my lungs
Fall to my knees and beg you to forgive me
Tell you how sorry I am for all I've done
But the meaning behind the word
Means nothing
When you don't believe in me
How can I fix this?
How do I ask for your forgiveness,
Tell you that I'm sorry for not being all you want of me
For tarnishing the image you had painted of me so long ago
Tell me please!
I want to know how to rebuild this bridge I've burned
I know you don't want to hear me speak
But I need to tell you how sorry I am
I'm sorry for falling short of your dream
I'm sorry for disappointing you for so long
I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I was
I'm sorry for all my mistakes
I'm sorry for turning away when I needed you the most
I'm sorry for all I put you through
I'm sorry
You may not believe me
But these words, these thoughts
They're mine and from the heart
I'm asking you to put aside the pain
And learn to forgive me again
