My 16th Apology

The things i said about you

maybe we could work it out someday

Things were going pretty well 'till i died

on that summer afternoon

when you broke down before my eyes

well i got a streak of meanness

a clumsy way of speaking

and i don't know where i get it from

it must run in my family

Do i have to go down on my knees?

this is my 16th apology to you

with friends like me who needs enemies

I got a river inside the size of my rage

which is really something else

when you think of my tender age

well i got a way about me

but it's hard for me to see it

and i don't know when i'm in the wrong

why am i so hard to please?

This is my 16th apology to you

do i have to go down on my knees for you

with friends like me who needs enemies

The things i said about you

were all said yesterday

i didn't mean to hurt you

maybe we could work it out someday

Well i got a streak of meanness

a clumsy way of speaking

and i don't know when i'm in the wrong

why am i so hard to please?

Do i have to go down on my knees?

this is my 16th apology to you

with friends like me who needs enemies

Didn't your mother ever tell you

to err is human, to forgive is divine

oh well, i'll see you in the next life
