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
