I’m Sorry
I try so hard, but second-guess
Til there’s nothing left but a mess.
Did I grow up to your standards?
I don’t think I have, but I’ve tried so hard.
I wanted to be the ideal, but I’m just a reject.
I can’t pretend that it’s alright, so let’s hit the eject.
We lost the friendship; we lost the closeness.
We lost the bond; we lost it all.
We can’t go back, ’cause there’s nothing there.
Did you know, you’re supposed to be my hero?
Oh, where did that go?
I can’t stand another fight.
I try to talk to you --
But there’s a wall between.
There’s no standard you can hold to me.
You left when I was three.
How could you do that?
I guess you thought it all through,
And when it was said and done
You were proud, weren’t you,
To be rid of the daughters you never wanted?
Or maybe you have come, since the time I asked last,
To regret the things you have done in the past.
But last I asked, you said you wouldn’t change a thing.
Do you know how bad that hurt, to know you’d leave me like that again?
I just wanted to make you proud.
But you know what?
I’m proud of myself,
And the shit I’ve put up with from you.
That crap is hard to deal with, but I’ve done it
For so long, but no more.
I can’t do this anymore. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
