I'm so sorry I hurt you

And I must do it again

And it hurts me too

But I must do it

Half the time just want to crawl

And apologize

The other half feeling worse

From knowing I'm right



One misstep away

Every day on my game

I try too hard

To survive each day



I have lost touch with what I was

With the lie that it was

They say the pottery must break again

I'm not mad but I wonder when

And if it's never then this is it

Til the day of my grave's deliverance

The line remains there to be toed

Rejoice in the patience that will surely grow



I owe you so very much

That I cannot repay

I wish you'd see it

And let me have my one more way

You owe me that much

Owe me to let me pay

You always let me go

But I wanted to stay
