Sorry
Down next to the river bend
You know you took my breath away
I’m glad you finally realized it
And tried to save the day
Your breath replacing mine
Your air flowing through my lungs
And that pounding in my chest
We both know it’s because of you
I’m sorry caring father
Who never sees his son
I’m sorry late night drinker
Who chases when I run
And I drowned in your love
What's done, it can’t be undone
As I watch the scene from afar
I can tell you’re sorry
That you let it get this far
But you’re not really sorry
I’m sorry
That our son will have no mother
I am sorry
He never really had a father
I am sorry, so sorry
That I let it get this far
And I’m sorry
For the call my parents got
They lost their daughter
To another useless fight
With the man they never liked
I’m so sorry
