I'M Sorry

I’m sorry if I’m boring
Plain and annoying
I swear I did my best
I guess I expect
You to do the rest
There’s my first mistake
You should never take
More than you need
You should only take
What you need
To live to die
To thrive to rise
To prove that
You’re not a fake
Don’t make my mistake
I write this in hopes
That you’ll never read it
You won’t want it
You don’t need it
You don’t need me
To “waste your time”
To “act like everything’s fine”
To “cry and whine”
But I’m sorry if I’m boring
Plain and annoying
I’m admitting I’m wrong
Or at least I’m trying
And I’m using this song
To express how I feel
To prove my feelings are real
Even if yours aren’t 
It makes me feel good
To know that things turned out
Exactly opposite of what they should
Just like I told you
I knew it would
Cause nothing lasts forever
And nothing’s ever always
And you can’t trust
Anyone these days
And this whole thing
Playing with my head
You might as well
Shoot me dead; Bang
That’s all you need
To be “freed”
If there’s even such a thing

But I’m sorry if I’m boring
Plain and annoying
Too skinny, too fat
Too flirty, too prude
Or any of that
I used to be unhappy
With the way I am
But now I figure
Who gives a damn?
And if you do, screw you
Cause I have no clue
How to fix it
Or if I even can
That wasn’t part
Of my plan
But my plan’s been violated
So many times
Like my number one rule
No more crying
Over stupid things
Over them lying
Over everything unraveling
Everything’s untying
I’m falling apart

And I’m sorry if I’m boring
Plain and annoying
I’m sorry for blaming you
For everything I failed to do
And If I did,
I’m sorry for hurting you
But you don’t care
You’ll do what you want
But it was you
Who changed the color
The size, the font
Of the book
That is my life
With those words
That are your knife
And I tried
To save my life
But I can’t do it alone
But I am completely alone
I guess I’m doing good
If it hasn’t shown
But now it’s your turn
You have to choose
I hope you’ll pick the one
That means the most to you
And in that choice
Lies another demand
You see, the two go hand in hand
And I pray to god
That on your way
You won’t get stuck
And as you walk out the door
I wish you good luck
