I Apologize
It wasn’t long b4 I noticed that LOOK
A few days clean was all it TOOK
More time passed, got to shakin then SHOOK
And reality hit like a cold left HOOK
I gave you my love and moral SUPPORT
Congratulated you on good effort put FORTH
Gave all of me, my love, my WEALTH
But it wasn’t enuff 2 make you love YO’SELF
Powerless we are, please RECOGNIZE
I wish I could help you, I APOLOGIZE
I watched you all night rubbed yo back when it HURT
But nursing you thru it only made it WORSE
Now it’s time to cut the CORD
U gotta fight yo own battles, borrow my SWORD
I cain’t fight for you, although I AGONIZE
I did it before, I APOLOGIZE
You say you love me, I believe that’s TRUE
But I cain’t give you a boost without going down TOO
I gotta stay up, but I will keep PRAYIN
Pray you’ll come around, stop sliding and PLAYIN
Time’s runnin out, there’s not much LEFT
Gather yo strength play the cards you were DEALT
I wish I could help you, been down this road BEFORE
I did all I could, now I cain’t do no MORE
I APOLOGIZE
