Apology Song

I just didn’t think, Did not allow my thoughts to sink, In my troubled head, It seems I was misled, By a part of me, I yearned to find, A part of me, I left behind, Minutes past 11 and seconds to midnight, As I wandered in the dark, something wasn’t quite right, I didn’t stop to sit and think these things through, I didn’t stop to think how it may affect you. As I analyse from every angle and every part, I want you to know, just followed my heart. I just didn’t know, Did not know where I was to go, In my troubled head, That little voice I dread, Told me to go on and not even turn back, My wisdom buried and everything turned black. After one train and hours sitting in the cold, I finally realize I was feeling quite bold, I knew those next bus rides would create some fear, But I kept telling myself that I mustn’t shed a tear, while I’m here. I had to find her before she took her own life, But she only wanted mine, as I saw her hold that knife. I just didn’t say, Didn’t say if I was okay, In your troubled head, You may have thought me dead, But that voice murmured, And told me to come back, I replied with one word, I did come back, and I kept my word, I kept my promise and I know that she heard. I just didn’t think, Did not allow my thoughts to sink, In my troubled head, It seems I was misled, By a part of me, I couldn’t see, A part of me, I found in friends and family. I did run away, and I know I did wrong, I did run away, and I know I did wrong, I did run away, and I know I did wrong. The reasons why, in my apology song, Listen to this rhyme, my apology song, This rhyme’s for you, my apology song.
