Sorry Is Overrated

I didn't mean to be hostile 
My resentment got out of style
My anger took the best of me
Wish I can tell you that I'm sorry 

But, sorry is overrated
I feel terribly jaded
Maybe I should of cooperated and stopped being defiant 
Now, I regret this difficult, dangerous predicament 

Bug off, guilt that overflows in me
I just want to no longer be in grief
Chase away my stagnant sorrow and instead, I should grow trees of tranquility 
Just give me brief release and relief

I'll quit saying sorry, but I am sorry 
My past - I wish I can forget entirely 
Completely tired, bored and lonesome
At least I still feel somewhat handsome 

You leave without a care...
It left me with long-term despair
You leaving us behind is awfully pitiful
Guilt will no longer overflow in me and I'm allowing His Word to make me feel whole
