I'm Sorry

Looking at the landscape of this broken life

Triage to decipher, if anything survived

The blast had quite an impact, radius for miles

From the southern coast of Florida to the hills of Carolina

And everything has changed

'Cause when you're just a kid, words can take a toll

And a word unfitly spoken, can steal an apple's gold

Stranded in the fallout, wounded and alone

Is this an emergency, is anybody home?

And everything has changed

Is this what growing up supposed to look like?

Thought I'd be learning how to love, instead I've only learned to fight

I was only trying to walk beside You

I guess I just got in the way

Sometimes all you need is the medicine of time

To lead you to the gold beneath the wreckage of your mind

'Cause I was not your failure and you were never mine

And we were made to see through much more sympathetic eyes

But everything has changed

Is this what growing up supposed to look like?

Thought I'd be learning how to love, instead I've only learned to fight

I was only trying to walk beside You

I guess my pride got in the way

But if I ever caused you pain, could I be the first to say

I'm sorry

I won't give up on You, if You don't want me to

I won't give up on You, did You expect me to?

I can't give up on You, even if You want me to

I won't give up on You, I don't know what I'd do

But everything has changed
