I'M Sorry

I didn't mean to I swear It was an accident no doubt That Halloween night We both went out It was supposed to be fun And cause a terrible fright To those who walked by On an innocent night Turns out it did scare But in a different way I hope you can forgive me For what I did to you that day I was a cowgirl I didn't know it was loaded We were playing around The whole thing exploded She lay on the ground It must be her fate I called for help But it was too late I killed her that night With a backfiring gun I shouldn't have given it to her But I can't fix what I've done I just thought I should say Goodbye to you all I'm going to find her now I've learned pride comes before a fall I know you've been hurt I've done this to you I'm doing what I can This is what I can do I'm going to find her And make sure she's okay Make sure she's happy I'm going today I'm raising the gun Putting it to my head I'll die like she did God, take me instead
