Edward the Confessor |
I’m so sorry |
Please forgive me |
For knowing that I’m wrong but insisting I’m right |
For wanting everything to be either black or white |
For wallowing in self-pity, confessing all my sins |
For studying my thoughts till my head caves in |
For all the things I’ve said but regret so much now |
For all the things I should have said but I couldn’t somehow |
For all the times I’ve meant them |
And I’ve known them for so long |
But I still get endings wrong |
I’m so sorry |
Please forgive me |
For trying to be all things to all men |
For shelving my objectives time and time again |
For looking for perfection in everything I do |
When really I need only look as far as you |
For demanding to be loved by someone who |
Then dispatching quietly over a pint of beer |
Well yeah, I did it without malice |
And I did it without shame |
But I did it just the same |
I’m so sorry |
Please forgive me |
For coming home from work in the middle of the night |
For waking you up with the bathroom light |
For wanting to touch you with these cold cold hands |
For wanting to have you just because I can |
For always running from an argument |
When I ought to stand and fight |
For suppressing my emotions |
'cause I’m too goddamn polite |
And then for thinking that by simply saying sorry |
I could suddenly make everything alright |
I’m so sorry please forgive me… |
I’m so sorry please forgive me… |
