I'M Sorry
I’m Sorry
The letter’s that he wrote her
Are in the closet down the hall
Every now and then, when she gets lonely
She takes them out, when her world seems small
She reads all of the “I love yous”
And that he misses her so much
Even though it doesn't feel the same
She can’t help but remember his touch
She feels him in her heart, although it is broken
With him gone, her world is empty
People stop by and offer thoughts and feelings
All she hears is the pity and underlying sympathy
She still can’t bear to drive his car
The memories of that night are still very clear
I’m sorry, I’m so, so, sorry was all she could say
She didn't think it would matter, it was only one beer
Now he rests in peace
And she struggles with her pain
If she could take it all back
She would not have herself to blame
She drinks now more than ever
And wishes she could forget his face
She has even tried taking her own life
However, knows that her hell is in this place
She cries herself to sleep at night
Hiding her tears in the pillow crack
There is nowhere for her to go
She wants to take it all back
Back to where they were once together
Holding on to each other for life
That night that she took his away
Was the night he made her his wife.
DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE-LIFE IS PRECIOUS
