When "sorry" Seems Lame

Sorry if I made you worry. To doubt or question me. It's totally understandable. And even I can this see. Sorry if I hurt someone, Somewhere in my past. Sorry if I felt hurt as well. And the pall it did once cast. Sorry for your troubles, So much deeper than are mine, Sorry for sin and anger And for those who feel just fine After tearing hearts to pieces To fling into the sky And kill the innocent, Makes one want to cry For those we lose, and mourn Those we wish were never born Those sick of being sick And tired of wondering why, Those who cry to live forever, And those who want to die... Life can seem brutal, Nasty and unfair Makes you sometimes wonder, Why you should even care But a minute of true love Makes up for all that pain and sorrow And a taste of unselfish caring Makes one want to live again tomorrow Beyond my understanding Beyond the wisest soul, Simply beyond the scope of knowing, Something just a goal To taste a taunting hint, To half understand in momentary flash But never quite get it all As hopes of such do dash Upon the rocks of failure As yet once again We crash So "Sorry" is a word Too hard to understand And far too often flung, In words that seem off-hand.
