Please Step Up If I Step Back
Amongst the many other things I'm sorry
So sorry my heart breaks in two
As angry as I've ever been
My soul's wish would be to save you
My power rests not with saving
But with offering you some time
Choosing a good day of yours
And merging it with mine
The day before and after
May be squandered and discarded
But on the day the stars align
We'll sing and dance unguarded
I can't promise I can offer
My peace and self each day
I'm sorry oh so sorry
But it has to be this way
I hope that the days I gift
Are enough to quell
Some of the pain and sorrow
That in your heart does dwell
I've learnt that I have limits
There's no point in should and could
Of trying to save you endlessly
Whilst you undo the good
So I find the line to stand behind
That's a distance I can bear
I'm sorry oh so sorry
I do and always care
So where was I?
Oh yes, wrapped up in so much despair
I need to cast that off now
And heal and rest and repair
I'll put you on the right path
Then turn away and leave
It's all I can do to save myself
Even though I grieve
I grieve the chances lost
I grieve the hope you still hold
I grieve I cannot help you
But I need to shed the load
I look inside and judge myself
It's the last thing I want to do
That's why I chose it last of all
I tried so many many times to save you
Whilst wishing doesn't change things
My energy is depleted
Please keep your hope in tact
And be glad history is not repeated
I hope that things can change
You'll step up if I step back
There's still time, still time
Just a little time, to finally get on track
Please don't leave me with a broken heart
Stuck on the sorry page
To the person who said sorry most
It's your final chance to change
