My Sunshine, Written For a Friend To Share
You are the bright sunshine
That brightens every day
I know that I screwed up
But I wanted to stay.
I just should have listened
To the warnings you gave
Is our relationship
Worth us trying to save?
I know that you want space
I’ll give you all you need
Please don’t give up on us
One more chance I do plead.
Every day on the job
The “cop hat” that I wear
I’ll learn to leave it back
Not bring it home I swear.
Controlling as you know
Working hard to change that
Please don’t just walk away
Or even turn your back.
I’ve searched deep in my soul
Heard the things you would say
I just wish I’d listened
And not pushed you away.
The feelings that I have
Run deeper than I thought
I did this to myself
This pain I feel I brought.
In your life I could be
But on you it depends
Perhaps if nothing else
We could be real good friends.
