I'm So Sorry

When excuses and lies confront the truth,
what does one say if I'm sorry won't do?
And though I own the mistakes of my youth,
I'm so sorry for what I put you through.
I listened to my ego, not my heart,
and convinced myself I was in the right.
And yet, my heart keeps questioning my part;
sometimes, shadows don't acknowledge the light.
I searched my soul to find the words to say
I'm sorry; please give me another chance.
For, if tomorrow sidesteps yesterday,
there is a good chance we could learn to dance.
There are no words to describe how I feel,
betraying the only person I love.
But if you imagine Hell as real,
you'll have some inkling of what I speak of.
There's no way for me to take back your pain,
and I cannot fault you for doubting me.
But, I swear, I'll never leave you again;
so either forgive me or cut me free.
