I'm Sorry

I feel the pain inside my heart

As you lead me astray

All I ever wanted to do

Was take your pain away

The moment I reached out for your hand

You pulled yours to your side

I hate this pain I'm going through

I'm sorry that I lied.

I never meant to hurt you

With the things I didn't say

I never meant for anything

To ever turn out this way

But I made a mistake--I'm sorry.

I wish I could take it back.

I need you here beside me

To provide the things I lack

If I could change the things I did

I'd take back hiding from you

All the things that were most important

All the things that mattered to you.

The life I lead without you

Has lost its meaning, turned to gray

The vibrant, beautiful colors

That once were there have gone astray

I'm sorry for what I did to you

I'm not what you want me to be

I'd do anything, anything to please you

If you'll only come to see

That I can't change the person I am

To fit who you want me to be.

If you can't love me this way

I still have to stay true to me

So let me whisper in your ear

That I love you and always will

It's up to you to come back to me

And love me for being real.
